emu

No no, the only straw anything here is the bedding of straw this emu baby's squeely standing on. The argument for its cuteness is utterly infallible.

If you doubt for a second that the baby emu in this photo is more than just literal hours old... well, just look to the left-hand side for irrefutable proof!

It may not be the best hand in poker, but it's certainly the cutest.

Squee lovers, the winners of this week's Squee Spree contest are itty bitty Emu babies! And this particular emu baby has quite a marvelous mugshot here, if I do say so myself!

Try as I might, I simply cannot think of an entourage superior to an emutourage.

On this week's Squee Spree face-off we have two very cute birds who you won't see gracing the skies anytime soon. But just because they can't fly, doesn't mean they aren't squee! Which ruffles your feathers?

Vote in the comments and be sure to check back Monday to see who won!
