Hi Sandra!
How kind of you to come in and take a look at "my" emu! (He's NOT mine... if he is, I don't want him... lol!!! The photo is enough!)
Yes, they are unpredictable; some "nastier" than others. Your shot amazes me. We are the great emu hunters! hehehe....
Warm thanks again and cheers!
Aniko :)

I'm pleased you like this Renato!
Our little friend was quite far from me and stopped but briefly! Truly this was one of those "lucky" shots.
Thanks for your interest and comments my friend,
Aniko :)

Oh Mary! LOL!
Don't let that "funny expression" fool you. This character is not funny! If you might have noticed a few Australians comments here, we all know these 6'6" birds are terrifying and they peck innocent people very hard as they steal their food from them! ROFL! True though!
I like the little piece of grass at the corner of his mouth. That always amauses me...
Thanks for your comment, dear friend.

This is a brilliant close up Aniko. Each hair and that eye! Getting so close with such clarity. Such a funny expression!

Congratulations on your well deserved win on this photograph. The detail and DoF is great. I do have to say that Emus scare me. I used to work (when in high school) at a koala sanctuary and although 99% of the staff had problems feeding the Tasmanian Devils I was the 1% that would happily do it instead of having to go near the Emus. Oh I have just read the comments below, Emus are SCARY!!

Oh poor Colin!
I remember a time on a family outing (large Hungarian family outing) when all the kids were running with their sandwiches from the emus that were too fast for them. The parents (including me... lol...) were doing their best to shoo the thieves away. Eventually we had to call the park keeper to make them "go away". LOL! Many people have lost their food to these huge obtrusive birds!
Thanks for your comments.
Hugs~
Ani :)

Oh Rebecca!!! Forgive me for laughing! I agree. My son was just watching me upload this image and said: "Remember when an emu stole my sandwich?" LOL! Yes they are wicked creatures. I had my horses for awhile on a property that became an emu farm! I was not very comfortable about that!!! I moved my horses elsewhere eventually! :)
Anyway, believe me that for this snatch grab shot, the zoom was at 200... lol... I was not very close to this naughty bird!
Thanks for your kind comment. Sorry about the bad memories! LOL!
Cheers!
Ani :)
