Hello and Merhaba Friends,
This is another Bird photo that I took at the Indianapolis Zoo but this is way bigger than my previous post and He is from Australia :)
I hope you like it:)
Cheers and Have a Great Day,
Chris Tolga

The Emu (IPA pronunciation: [ˈiːmjuː]), Dromaius novaehollandiae, is the largest bird native to Australia and the only extant member of the genus Dromaius. It is also the second-largest bird in the world by height, after its ratite relative, the ostrich. The soft-feathered, brown, flightless birds reach up to 2 m (6 ft 7 in) in height. The Emu is common over most of mainland Australia, although it avoids heavily populated areas, dense forest and arid areas. Emus can travel great distances at a fast, economical trot and, if necessary, can sprint at 50 km/h (31 mph) for some distance at a time.[1] They are opportunistically nomadic and may travel long distances to find food; they feed on a variety of plants and insects.

The Emu subspecies that previously inhabited Tasmania became extinct following the European settlement of Australia in 1788; the distribution of the mainland subspecies has also been affected by human activities. The Emu was once common on the east coast, but is now uncommon there; by contrast, the development of agriculture and the provision of water for stock in the interior of the continent have increased the range of the Emu in arid regions. Emus are farmed for their meat, oil and leather.
In a classic episode of from Season 9 of The Simpsons (Episode 5F20 - Lard of the Dance), in order to cheer Homer up, Marge encourages him to start an "Emu (pronounced Emoo) Farm", coining a common catch-phrase.

Hi Chris
Another Great Shot. Despite his hair this Emu appears proud and a willing subject. Good detail in the subject and a nice highlight in the eye.
Mike

Well Chris I did not know that they once inhabited Tasmania as well. They are a pest in many farming areas in my birth state of Western Australia so much so that some farmers obtain permits to cull them. I have an egg in my house which my sister painted with Aboriginal patterns. Not the most attractive of birds and you have captured it well. Excellent detail and good colour. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘The Gardener's Cottage’

Çok güzel bir hayvan portresi çıkmış ortaya dostum, ışık ve netlik o kadar iyi ki neredeyse üzerindeki tüyleri sayacağım :O)
Renkler, keskinlik ve alan derinliği de başarılı olmuş.
Ellerine, gözlerine ve yüreğine sağlık dostum.

Hi Chris,
this emu looks actually cute, sort of dreamy. Very nice portrait, the OOF back ground does show off the sharp details very well.
Great job.
Sky

Looks like many teenagers at wake-up time. Interesting trail to investigate.

contrasty, sharp and clear

Hi Chris. Another very good wildlife capture. Excellent title for this sharp and well delivered shot. That look in his eye shows a bit of attitude maybe! Good work. Murray.

What a funny photo, I have days that I feel like that. Hope I don't look as bad. Your composition is wonderful and nicely done. Good DOF and your POV is intriguing.
Good clarity and details.
