Old Man Emu

Ron @stray_shooter checking out the Emu

Also tagged for the song-title6 competition - after a title change.
I am pretty sure no-one outside of Oz has ever heard John Williamson's 1969 novelty song "Old Man Emu" but the first line is
"Let me tell you of an interview
With an old man emu"
which I thought was fairly appropriate for this shot.

Wow, that is standing very close....Great shot

[Denise Wood]

No doubt Ron was happy meeting the locals :)

[Babs]

Ron did very well to get so close to the emu, we all know how feisty they can be.

[Tony]

Fantastic combination. Great shot.

[Taffy]

What fun! He's pretty close to this bird!

[ShirleyB]

[Peter]

@pcoulson If you want to see a real tear jerker Peter, have a look at John Williamson singing one of his well known Ozzie songs at Steve Irwin's memorial service https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rdyVP95XiE

@terryliv Amazing tribute Terry thanks for sharing it with me, thought the yellow flowers made a very fitting ending could almost hear him saying it. He was a big name over here we lost one one of life's great characters, visited the Australia Zoo at Beerwah a couple of times and on one he was there talking to the visitors:)

Ron is a bit close - he obviously had no food with him. Looks like he is sweet talking the emu. LoL.

[Rachel]

Lucky the emu didn't turn around and peck him!

[Ron]

It's obvious that the old man referred to here is the emu. All seem to be a git concerned about my proximity to the emu - they are not aware of the sweet nothings I was whispering in HER ear, or course. Lucky to make it out without getting attacked I guess!
