Default Happy Bird

I don't really know what it's called, so if you know the name please tell me.

xD

It looks like it's smiling doesn't it?

Here are a few more from the zoo http://sergiogomez.org/blog/ghetto-zoo-adventures/

The shot is funny. I think that you may be a bit too closely cropped, because I seem to be focusing on parts of the bird's face at once instead of seeing the whol picture. Nice though. I agree, I believe it is an ostrich or an emu... I think my g/f leans towards emu...

Maybe a lower perspective would have given a better view of the face. Also, a little fill flash would have helped to fill in the shadows.

The reason I cropped it is because the rest was very distracting. As you can see he was peaking his head above the gate. The rest would have looked odd with the gate and other distractions in focus.

And yes it might be on astrich. I should have read the sign that had info about it.

Thanks.

Personally, I love it just the way it is! The one and only thing I might change is thery light spots int he background that are competing for the birds attention
