What would the duck-billed platypus say? 🙃

This one isn’t a bird, so no problem.
It rests anyway comfy in my bed with me (in plush of course).

For sure the platypus isn’t a bird, it’s a mammal, but with such a hodgepodge of characteristics that it can surely cheer up the ostrich? 🙃
Do you really have a plush platypus? I’ve not seen one of those!

The playtipus is awesome (and unfortunately in danger like another cool animal, the axolotl).
Yes, I do – it’s from WWF – I just saw, they also have a baby (a bit funny looking). WWF Canada has a different one than WWF Switzerland – interesting (as Sherlock Holmes says all the time).

It’s an emu! “The most apparent difference between the ostrich and the emu is that the emu’s wings are very short and not distinguishable, while the ostrich has two big wings though they cannot be used to fly. Also, the emu’s neck is covered with feathers, not naked like the ostrich. It has three toes rather than two.”

Mea culpa – but it doesn’t change the outcome.

Ostrich, noun from Latin avis ‘bird’ and late Latin struthio, “feathered dinosaur which decided that flight was, er, just for the birds.”

Hi Calm One, nice to bump into you on this blog. It’s an Australian emu: “The most apparent difference between the ostrich and the emu is that the emu’s wings are very short and not distinguishable, while the ostrich has two big wings though they cannot be used to fly. Also, the emu’s neck is covered with feathers, not naked like the ostrich. It has three toes rather than two.”

Thank you, O Nameless One, and especially for the correction! 🙂 I could though have as my excuses (a) that I took my cue from the comments above and (b) that I sort of knew it wasn’t an ostrich from the shape, so assumed it was artistic licence – but all that wouldn’t really do, would it? Truth will out: I’m a sham!

{Wry smile} Just disappointing, not disastrous. Good to know you’re looking on the brighter side!

It might be our Australia emu also, if you squint your eyes a bit. In fact, it is! “The most apparent difference between the ostrich and the emu is that the emu’s wings are very short and not distinguishable, while the ostrich has two big wings though they cannot be used to fly. Also, the emu’s neck is covered with feathers, not naked like the ostrich. It has three toes rather than two.”
