Hai, I Am An Emu







I LOVE EMUS - I have also eaten them. Shh.



I'm Tired. Go. Away. - Tasmanian Devil.



Bennett's Wallaby - I think. You see, this wallaby had the right idea, relaxed on some grass, taking it easy. Unlike us poor schmucks, walking around at 9.00am.



Maybe a Bennett's Wallaby, or a Swamp Wallaby - I'm a macropod racist, some of the wallabies all start to look alike after a while.



Swamp Wallaby



Some Kind of Probably A Swamp Wallaby - Not like any of yall are gonna know without checking your Australian fauna books anyway. Yeaaaaaah.



Nankeen Kestrel - It is leetle!



Nankeen Night Heron - I LOVE herons. I love night herons. And I love all herons. I'm basically a slut for herons. Except not in an 'actual sex' kind of way. Because that would be wrong.



Nankeen Night Heron- Striking a pose.



I want to say Violet Headed Lorikeet or something, but I don't actually know, I am teh lame.



Masked Owl - There seems to be some rule of 'Pia taking photos' which is 'thou shalt never get an owl in focus.' So, sadly, this is the closest I got.



Red Wattlebird - I like this guy, mostly because he comes up and nibbles your hand / fingers extraordinarily gently. Also, there were heaps in Koondoola bushland / Alexander Heights. There are hardly any here in Ellenbrook. It's more common bronzewing and stuff here.






The end!

I have strange "issues" with emus [long story], but I think I am in love with both emu shots you took! The first is so cute, and the second kinda cheeky...

The rest of the shots are gorgeous, as well.

I love love love emus, but even a lot of Australians find them very very scary - even without past history! They can attack people, they are big, they make creepy noises (which I love) and have very penetrating eyes.

Oh, my past history isn't really bad. It just involves voyeuristic emus, and I'll leave it at that...
