Don't Get Carried Away!

Don't Get Carried Away!
A birds or bees photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park.

Those poor kids don't seem to have a clue that they're about to be carried off by that raptor that's swooping down upon them. Or at least that seems to be what we're supposed to think with that stuffed bird suspended above them.

I'm not sure why these children are riding in a decorated cart pulled by a donkey. There's no address, date, or postmark on the other side of this real photo postcard, but there is a message written in French that I haven't had any success in deciphering.

my bourri (donkey) and his car, surmounted by his eagle (written with a fault of orhograph "egle"). To the right :

I cut my alfalfa for the third time, I will return it tomorrow.

I think it's a French postcard because the indications on the back correspond to what we can find on postcards around 1900.

Wow, thanks so much for the translation! I still wonder why the bird was placed above the cart like that.

I saw that the eagle seems attached to the car by an arm system. I think that this flowery chariot must be part of a kind of carnival (as in Nice, where in Rio de Janeiro ...). It would be necessary to know from which region this picture is, because perhaps, is there in this region an old legend with an eagle ?!
