Ready for a kiss!

Following on from yesterday's photo - this is how close the emu came to me :) And it is sooc! Thanks for all the great comments left about him walking up the path! It appears you either admire these big birds, or you're scared of them! I do love them, despite them being taller than me :)

LOVE this wonderful photo! I quite enjoyed the one I encountered as well! My family members decided to climb Uluru and I stayed behind with a friend. As we ate cookies (biscuits) here comes this lovely, cheeky emu, and what's a person to do but share! I don't recall if I got a photo...surely I did...but you can't be feeding them & photographing them at the same time! And "anything " I got isn't as wonderful as this!!!
