I would be an Emu because (like me) they don't conform and they are proud to be weird: they can't fly and can't walk backwards; but boy they give the other animals a run for their money. Or I would be a lyrebird, who are crafty and spend their day mimicking other birds and then steal their nests!<br /><br />Susan Harris.Susan Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10371239028956598298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14047714.post-68622978634893453332013-05-13T14:16:09.034+10:002013-05-13T14:16:09.034+10:00Thanks Amy, a Golden Eagle is a glorious suggestio...Thanks Amy, a Golden Eagle is a glorious suggestion, I'm surprised it's taken so long for someone to suggest it. <br /><br />And thanks for your entry too Lid, I'm really surprised by the diversity of preferences here.

If the range includes mystical birds, I'd be a Roc because they're huge, scary and I could enjoy scaring the code brown out of some people. Or a phoenix, because being reborn from actual fire as opposed to life-generated flames would be a novel experience.<br /><br />If not mythical, I'd be an albatross - they dive, float or fly for years at a time, never touching the ground.<br /><br />I already follow your blog via email, and have no idea about the Twitterverse :)Selwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02711969456947342520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14047714.post-16247373902746076372013-05-08T13:11:00.582+10:002013-05-08T13:11:00.582+10:00Thanks for your multiple competition entries Debbi...Thanks for your multiple competition entries Debbie.
