Emus and doudou!

on April 14, 2012

Due to the interest shown in doudou’s bird sculptures I herewith copy/paste a more direct link to her site http://doudoubirds.com/

I have never met doudou in person, so have only gotten to know her via the blogosphere but, ever since she made these emus for me, I have followed her work and her blog. Sorry, doudou, if you didn’t want the attention!

I think you can see from the pictures of my very first emu (Emery, who got killed by a fox, which devastated all of us), that doudou’s sculptures do a pretty good job of replicating the real thing.

    I love all your animal friends…the really do look like the ones I visited at the farm this week. 🙂

  2. Love those emus!! Will have to revisit her blog!!

  3. Here it’s the raccoons and minks that get into the bird pens and kill them. So sad to lose birds, especially those cute emus.

      Oh it was a terrible day – that fox got Emery (the one pictured) and two newer emu chicks in broad daylight – we were all sitting outside and didn’t hear a thing but one minute the emus were with us and the next …

  4. Nice little emus–they do look like your real ones!

    Thanks Jules, doudou is so talented!! These are just exquisite. I know some bird-watcher (love) relatives of mind would flip over them. Compliments to the artist!

    The baby emus are gorgeous! So stripy! I bet they were a handful. It must have been devastating to lose them. And the sculptures are amazing.

  9. That reminds me. I need to head on out to the mailbox to see if my doudou birds have flown in.
