Ta-ta

Time to leave.


A Purple Swamphen flying!
He’s an accomplished flier but his long legs and elongated toes trail behind.

Hardwax was wondering where they put their feet… when they fly. There you are, nowhere heehee!

They should put their feet in some shoes should'nt they.

Not really BoiledEggInADeckchair. That would DROWN them!

BoiledEggIn aDeckchair said...

They won't if the shoes are tied to an aeroplane or a rocket or a spaceship.

Or helicoptor blades.

True BoiledEggInADeckchair. But their feathers would RIP OFF!

AND THEY WOULD BE CHOPPED INTO TINY PIECES!

No they would'nt, they'd spin round and around and around until they were sick everywhere and their eyes popped out.

But they would be vomitting like poor Hellcats! What strange ideas you have, Egggoooo!

It's amazing that they know exactly when to leave and they know where to go without a GPS, or reading signs and a map, so much better than some of us who constantly get lost and can't identify which corner we turned last, hahaha!

We have birds with long feet (I thought you called them hands in one photograph) that fly very well. Their feet become straight like the tail of an airplane.

*VOMIT* BoiledEggInADeckchair!

Oh MerlinPrincesse, I take my vomit back heehee.

They have an aerial view Ces!!! I called their feet hands because one was eating with his feet :) Your birds with long feet don't need to bother straightening them to fly well .. ask a Swamphen! BTW, I would love to see a photograph of your neighbours emus!

sigh....the first photo set me adrift. tata..............

Anon, the emus were temporary since ours is residential neighborhood. The man thought he could hold 14 emus in his small yard for the time being (2 weeks!!!). The county health department told him to haul the birds to a farm.

Tata Perriette ... won't bother doing Jack's seven weird things now ...

They breed OUR emus over there Ces? They are on our coat of arms! Actually, emu oil is very good for arthritis should you have too many more birthdays Ces :))

You don't own emus, Anon. And if Jack doesn't divy up the seven, I'll kidnap him and you'll never see him again. We'll be sailing the seven seas...HaaHaaHaaa!

Ces Adorio said...

Yes, they breed the emus here, I don't know why. I have not eaten any other bird except chicken and turkey, not even duck or pheasant.

We have emu's farm here too, in Quebec.... They sell their meat, and make oil for old ladies...Hheheh.

Jack is MINE Perriette! Actually, I'm his Hhehheeeee.

Emu has a very strong taste Ces, I wouldn't recomend it anyway. We eat everything on our Coat of Arms :)

The oil is for ALL AGES MerlinPrincesse! Someone can have arthritis when under ten years old! You know that ... *pffft*
