interesting series, in pictures like the last one focus on the eyes, humans like eye contact

They are funny!
Do they eat (out of that bowl) as "fiercely" as emus eat (I only ever fed emus in Australia)? With those emus we fed them out of a paper bag which was soon enough GONE - pecked into pieces, with the food flying (like in your fourth photo here, fun one! ).

Nice DOF in the first, a bit too shallow in the last, so focus no longer is on the eye but slipped to the beak.

yeah i was trying to make it look like the emu was behind some sort of blurry sheet and the beak came through haha. you're right though, more doF!!!!!!!!!!!

and yeah, we didnt use paper bags, they gave us dog bowls that were bolted to dust pans. you need it because they mostly bight the bowl instead of the food. thats why they have to have assistance in being fed. 'tarded animals i tell ya.
