This Emu lives outside Adelaide in a national park. Quite proud, despite her less than conventional looks, she walked across the field like a model on the runway, then posed for me, moving her head every which way. I couldn't choose a favorite (well, sort of gave my sort of favorite the place of honor in the lower right corner). She was very expressive and I felt like her show was just for the camera's benefit.
I love emu's. They are so fascinating though have not seen the face this close up before. Love your photos, Taffy I also like that you put so many closeups around the main photo.
What an amusing collage about a very intriguing bird. I like the variety of head shots, especially the two that show the difference in the eye when the 2nd lid is down. Without that, her eyes are vivid and intense.
