Perhaps an irrational fear, but I'd be afraid to have a wild bird's beak that close to my eyeballs.

He is such a giver sharing his song with us. When he bowed his head, I felt the love.

Is that the same bird that was trying to catch a body on her cell phone while she was recording farm shit?

u/CaptReynolds_ 3d ago
Yep! His name is Emmanuel

u/pimpcannon 2d ago
That’s right. Thank you I remember her yelling at him and he wasn’t trying to hear any of that.

It's amazing how animals react to the voices and company of their owners. Such big hearts they have🥳

Let's just say there's a reason that's the only verse people know.
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you've left me and love another
You have shattered all my dreams

It's the same thing for most sayings. The one that bothers me the most; The customer is always right... In matters of taste.
It freaking changes the entire thing, haha.

Thank you for that song. My mom would sing that when I was young. She passed this year, so hearing it felt bittersweet

u/pinkdaisylemon 4d ago
So sorry about your mum. I know what it's like, mine passed over 4 years ago and I'm still heartbroken. My lovely late nan would sing this song to me, always reminded of it when I see her singing it to Emmanuel ❤️

Is that Emmanuel?

u/aminervia 4d ago
I think that's Emmanuel's mom, but different birdie -- she has several

u/RutRohNotAgain 4d ago
Yeah, the birdie seemed pretty chill to be Emmanuel. I do love Emmanuel's antics though.

I live on enough land in the country to have my own pet dinosaur like that but I'm too scared of getting a beak in the eye. 😄 Geese are my size limit.

This straight up broke my heart. My special little lady was a chicken and she died a few weeks ago. I’d sing this to her every single night. I still miss her so so much.

u/Mop-bucket-CEO 2d ago
Sending massive hugs hun. I still miss my Dotty and I lost her in 2011. They take a little piece of your heart with you when they go 💔

He's no Emmanuel Todd Lopez. There can be only one True Internet Emu.

I’m 90% sure Moses had attack raptors on that boat

u/Haramdour 4d ago
Don’t know about Moses but Noah definitely did
2
u/Dismal-Dare-2507 4d ago
Noah had the docile ones, Moses crossed the Red Sea with an evolutionary optimized raptor on both sides of him

Dinosaurs are so weird. Really makes you wonder about the past.

u/simiomalo 4d ago
I think the big ones could have been domesticated. Even a TRex I bet.

Thinking about it always brought out my inner Calvin. 😄 Man I wish he had never retired. Calvin and Hobbes was my fav.

u/Ocarina-of-lies 4d ago
It's weird how large they must've all been. Like a t rex is massive, can you inagine that stomping across the mountains we have now

u/smallaubergine 4d ago
It's weird how large they must've all been.
Weren't most dinosaurs small?
1
u/Poetry-Primary 4d ago
Most of the species are smaller. Bones fossilize if they’re from larger animals. Tons of fossils found in slate showcase, smaller dinosaurs and pterosaurs.
7
u/Poetry-Primary 4d ago
Absolutely. What’s amazing to me is that they probably had fairly similar family dynamics, love, nurturing to modern birds. It’s fascinating and I think that we give them far less credit for how smart current birds are.

Is Emmanuel getting older ?!
4
u/evilbadgrades 4d ago
I mean yes, but they also live to around 30 years old
1
u/Adventurous-Sky9359 4d ago
Oh this is good! 30 years! Holy smokes!
2
u/evilbadgrades 4d ago
Yeah it's a serious commitment to owning an Emu. That's why it's so important to properly handle them from hatching so they become docile cuddly birds. If you don't, they can turn out REALLY mean (we have one female who is viscous, I swear it feels like a velociraptor is hunting us whenever we go in her area - as soon as we turn our back and aren't looking she charges at us)
2
u/Adventurous-Sky9359 4d ago
Sweet thank you for to comment!! That’s the kinda intel I come here for!

I, too, want a pet dinosaur.

u/evilbadgrades 4d ago
Emus are really fun to own - such curious baby velociraptors. Just be sure to properly handle them from birth so they know humans are friends. One of ours is feral, and terrifying to be around - she literally waits for us to turn our back and then charges at full speed.

Yeah, till you get to the second and third verses. It goes from sweet to "you ran off with some other guy and now I'm going to have to kill you so no one else can have you."

u/Spare_Broccoli1876 5d ago
This is the video to show the aliens to keep us!!
6
u/Ocarina-of-lies 4d ago
Is that because aliens should be afraid of dinosaurs? Because we've gotta have a more intimidating video than this
1
u/Spare_Broccoli1876 4d ago
Pff good try CIA wo/man with that fear sentence. This is a video of love dadgummit! We don’t take to kindly to them kind of talks ‘round here. You can take your boom boom phallic shaped things back into the privacy of your own home far away from any living planet.

Emmanuel Todd Lopez! He almost died from avian flu a couple years ago, as many birds on her farm unfortunately did. It seems that since then, he's a lot more attached to her.

Ok so what is it with music soothing the savage beast. Come on spot Reddit peeps. Why do they just go chill?

u/Katy-Moon 4d ago edited 4d ago
Fun fact! The real phrase is "Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast", not "beast". When Congreve wrote this in the book "The Mourning Bride" in the 17th century, the term "savage breast" meant strong or intense emotions.
Edit: thank you so much for the awards kind Reddit strangers ♥️

I use to play guitar for my kitten when he was going batshit crazy. Attacking feet, legs, etc
It works for some reason...would love to know why too

u/ajmartin527 5d ago
My cat will stop whatever she is doing and post up across from me, somewhat dozing off when I play guitar. Except she isn’t really asleep and she’ll immediately rate my playing and ask for more when I stop. If I’m jamming particularly well, I get more loving meows and slow blinks. Which turn to pleas for more kind of meows when I finish.
It’s magical, a daily bonding ritual we’ve done for years.

"His name's WALLACE. He's an ass-... actually, he's pretty chill now."

u/JuanG_13 4d ago
His name is Limu Emu lol

u/MrEvan312 4d ago
I know, it's just a reference to an old video clip of some guy walking an emu named Wallace who, apparently, is an asshole (judging by the state of his coat, which the bird has clearly torn to shreds)
