Description
‘There seems to be something wrong here - the US nurses are supposed to be looking at the animals at Badger Creek Sanctuary whereas, in the case of this emu, the position seems to be reversed. He doesn't seem altogether impressed but then, the emu is a notoriously stupid bird - why, the male sits on the eggs.’
This photograph was taken as a publication image for the Department of Information. The caption is original from 1942.
