Killer Emu Attacks Camera

[Eco]

While shooting some close ups of an Emu he decided to attack my camera.

I had my lens about a foot from his face and the only thing I can guess is that he saw his reflection in it (they don't like other males).

Feel free to C&C the first one, I posted this more as a warning to be careful when shooting wildlife or in this case a pet at an animal rescue place.

The attack picture looks horrible since he got too close to my lens.

Actually, it's not X, it's just not there.

I had an ostrich ruin a CP by pecking at it when I got too close! Careful!

I just edited my first post so the pictures would show up for others. Since the site that I loaded them to first is password protected to see images I could see them in this thread and others could not.

Sorry

I like the first shot. And, dude, congrats on being brave enough to stand there and press the shutter while that freaky beak was coming at you.
