Silly things

People have often considered the similarities between humans and the animal kingdom. This however is usually pertaining to the likeness of dogs and their owners, or cats fussy and sly mannerisms. I may just be slightly bos bev*k at the moment after 5 weeks away from civilisation, but have started to notice the fairly amusing likeness in behaviour of wild animals and people.

The male ostrich when in season, goes bright pink in his neck and head (almost red). He bends his legs, opens his wings, flaps them around in a kind of dance in order to draw his mates attention.

Not at all unlike young single gentlemen after a couple of beers (and maybe the odd tequila) at The Baron or Manhattan (if it still exists) in pursuit of a young lady. Flustered, slightly bar rashed cheeks, a bend in the knee and flick of the hoof as Human by the Killers comes on, and a very hopeful tap tap...
