Turkey posing

on April 7, 2012

Me: Bubble, would you mind if I took some close up photos of you?

Bubble: I don’t mind at all as long as it’s just me. I’d rather not pose with the other Bubble if that’s all right.

Me: Just you – maybe some profile shots.

Bubble: I believe this is my best side.

Me: Definitely!Β 

Bubble: Would you like me to look pensive like this, or defiant?

Me: Show me defiant.

Me: That’s fantastic, Bubble!

Bubble: Thank you. I can do nostalgia too, if you want.

Me: Okay, Bubble, let’s see nostalgia.

Bubble: How’s that?

Me: Absolutely brilliant!

    When it comes to nostalgia, there is an uncanny resemblance going on here…

    Don’t you agree? πŸ˜‰

    Love the head shots.

    I also enjoyed your ‘conversation’ with Bubble.

    (it’s a most peculiar thing – this habit we have of reading bird’s minds. It’s only by close and regular observation that one really sees all the different expressions birds and animals show).

    He does look proud of himself. So pink – I’ve never seen an animal so pink!

      Yeah – he’s kind of very ugly but very beautiful at the same time. You should see him when he inflates himself – everything goes bright red!

    Sometimes you wonder if evolution is having a bit of a laugh.

  9. I would have liked you to take a picture of him while you confess that you are eating one of his cousins for Easter lunch.
