Emu update

Last September I posted photos here of new young birds that had shown up on a small farm near Sunny Farms store.

They’ve grown fast. They’re tall enough now that they stand almost eye-to-eye with me, not surprising since they are the second tallest birds in the world (after the ostrich).

Emus are native to Australia, which helps explain why they’re such a curiosity to locals. On a breezy day you can see their soft, downy feathers blow about. Click here for more information about these flightless birds.

  1. I am of course familiar with these birds in the wild. I am always excited to see them when we go out west.
