Several people in our province keep them for their oil and meat, but I haven't had any. suppose he is an ancestor of the dinosaurs? very tiny head for the size of his body... is that a sign of how intelligent he is? nice feathers.<br />Gwen Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13410235558740636534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082891485735387579.post-10012971024269319452014-09-26T01:21:14.662-07:002014-09-26T01:21:14.662-07:00I enjoyed your story and the Emu photos.

I had the same problem as you with havinng the wrong lens on the camera, so my son kept a watch on ebay, and found someone who was selling just the camera body, which was a fraction of the price of the original camera. All I had to add to it was a battery and a memory card. OK, I am sure when I am out sightseeing people think I look strange with two cameras hung round my neck - bt who cares if I get good photos!!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082891485735387579.post-43949555565597628802014-09-24T21:51:12.429-07:002014-09-24T21:51:12.429-07:00He (?)'s a wild and crazy bird!
