A Baby Emu at Granny’s Cafe
Although certainly not the best bird photo I’ve captured, I couldn’t resist getting a shot of this adorable creature outside of Granny’s Cafe off Hwy 101 in Port Angeles last weekend.
After indulging in a soft swirl ice cream cone, I found myself outside having to use the facilities located behind the building, and while there I noticed two young girls cooing at “something” through the window of another concrete building…so my curiosity got the best of me, and I asked what it might be.
To my surprise, it was this baby emu. He/she was all alone but was being kept warm by an amber heat lamp and a stove in the corner. I can only guess at its age, but apparently, it must not have been far from newborn status, and I could only hope it would live a good long life. And like the Liberty Insurance TV commercial, one never knows, it may be famous one day!
So if you’re in Port Angeles, I not only recommend stopping by to see it for yourselves, but to indulge in at least one their ice cream cones too!
