Ostrich Portrait. I took a peck to the elbow for this portrait. Another ostrich came up to my right side and tried to eat my elbow as I was taking this image.LOL
I know it's not a competition and yet I think it's funny what you went through to get your picture.A couple of years ago I took my oldest sister to the Winston Wildlife Safari down in Oregon St,We had a Emu fallow us through the park not only that but it chased off all others that came even close to the car,This bird tried to put his head inside the car on my sisters side, of course she starts to panic so I said you have a electric window roll it up .

oh, i adore this Gar... endearing and worth an ostrich peck or two... better than the llama spit i endured sketching them... great dark thoughtful feel... put this in my favorite pile : )
