Ostrich poop found here
I took these pictures last Fall while visiting the NC Zoo. On the left you can see what appears to be a nice polite ostrich just wandering around. This impression soon turns out to be false when her dowdy tail feathers raise up and reveal a puckered anus. Ewwww! If you look carefully, you can see that she's made a deposit on the ground. More ewwww!
Feel free to click on the image to make them bigger. Details can make all the difference in these shots.
In other matters, aren't those really bony legs they have? And couldn't they have a little more color?

Thanks for your comment, Dave...Of course there were the Andy Hardy films---it was more like a serial, in a way..And I loved them, but those were considered "B" pictures by MGM---cheap and fast and popular...and also it wasn't about a real person....I think when Columbia Pictures saw how popular "The Jolson Story" was, they realized there was more to Jolson's life and they could make the rest of that story...It was definately an "A" picture--Big, like "DREAMGIRLS" would be considered, today, now....And that was the unusual part. But the Hardy pictures and pictures like them---"B" i mean, that was a whole other deal.
They can run fast.......
and stomp you to death.....
and still look the epitome of politesse.....

Michele sent me today, Dave.
She picked up on this with the same sponge like nature with which she picked up the long, slow Southern drawl of the true deep, deep Mississippi South; where the long "i" sound goes on to infinity, the sentences last for hours and the body language has to include the batting of eyelashes and sidelong glances.
One day, while not in my presence (I still haven't decided if this was a good or bad thing), she let rip a good one, broke wind, whatever you want to call it; and did so in front of several adults as well as the sitter. In true and accomplished Southern Belle style, my four year old, turned her head, batted her eyes, touched her fingertips to her lips and said, "Oh! Excuse me, I fluffed!" Then with a knowing glance far beyond her years, added... "IT happens you know!"
I know this doesn't have anything to do with the ostrich, but in a zoo IT just happens..... you know?
BTW
Michele told me to say hi, and since I had a computer issue when posting, I didn't want to skip you over :)

Second, ostriches are evil. EVIL. They attack cars, and stuff.
Third, my dogs love ostrich meat.
