Emmanuel is getting better
No doubt others have posted it somewhere but I didn't see it. Here's a CBS story saying the world's most famous emu is improving.

Most viral. Thanks, gang.
And now the Simply the Best Accolade, which I did not know was a thing. Thanks again, gang.

Love the bird. The girl thought is a walking red flag. By all accounts she is on her third attempt to go viral. Now she is using animals

Yes Emmanuel. DO IT.

Everyone liked that

Some Emmanuels will die of stubbornness this year. “No we won’t.” -Emmanuel.

Go Emmanuel!
The7thSpheal
He definitely wants to fuck that camera up.
Nightcaste
Still a pain in the ass. Keep it up Emmanuel
boondoggle2025
Does he feel like pecking a camera yet?
MininMark
Good to hear that the internets favorite angry bird is doing better.

I thought Karen was more famous as emus go but now that I think about it I guess I've seen more Emmanuel randomly
SmilinSloth
Emus are more badass than karen. Any bird that can win a war against humans with guns is badass in my books, choose violence emmanuel
AzurePaint26
Karen is pretty violent. She dose like rainbow hair though
rubypilgrim
Can't leave now, got more violence to choose today
AeonsShadow
He is looking way better too
oldguyexlurker
Do it, Emmanuel!

We need to take care of our veterans

Best news I’ve heard all day. Keep choosing violence, Emmanuel!
HannibalLectersCatMittens
It's his need for hate and spite that keeps him running.

You must outlive your enemies!
Mtn2TheSeaNC
I don't understand, is he picking up a new hobby or something?
Mirilali
He had to choose internal violence for a bit so he could survive, soon he'll return to external violence & protecting the world from cameras

I find it extremely suspicious the famous bird is one of the few that survived.
mustachiodbunny
It’s because he wasn’t actually sick, he was just stressed.
ilostmyway
her farm was viosited by the hazmats and he should have been culled too

Most likely hidden away

You mean, most annoying emu?
eggmuffin
Is there another kind of emu?
redtails2649
Nope
Allusernamesaretakensoichoosethis
Who cares?
dukegonzo
You enough to comment, And Rod Hulls Emu is the most annoying Emu.
AltMelodium
You!
blarghenharghen
Am I the only one who doesn’t care about this burb?
everythingiscats
Don't care about the bird so much. More so that the bitch didn't follow protocol and hid the bird from culling.
blarghenharghen
What?? Elaborate please me
GasBandit
Basically, the rules are if you have bird flu in your bird farm you have to cull ALL your birds. And she didn't.
everythingiscats
Wild flock of birds landed in their farm. Had flu. Passed it to hers. All avians required to be culled, it's protocol. She hid the emu.
blarghenharghen
Awh fuck, are we supposed to give special treatment only cause of some fucking TikTok? I hate this
dizzyturtle
I didn't know Emmanuel wasn't feeling good or even still alive but I'm pulling for him.
BumbleBeeBeardedGingerBear
KnuckleBump Farm's birds were taken out by avian flu. They lost all but Emmanuel and a black swan, last I heard. :(
GCRust
The Avian Flu story breaks down with Emmanuel being spared. Story is weird and not all facts are out there yet.
BumbleBeeBeardedGingerBear
Other comments early on suggested avian flu is extremely contagious & takes out whole flocks very suddenly. Many said they lost big flocks
BumbleBeeBeardedGingerBear
Of chickens, geese, etc. To avian flu spread by wild birds.
Hakunayatata
As far as I’m aware flocks are supposed to be culled if avian flu is detected. Not sure why emu is alive considering but I could be wrong.
Newfehotep
That's a really sketchy story, all the birds should be culled for avian flu. This one's really bad, a jump to humans would probably kill.
Feralkyn
Isn't that just for poultry? I'd imagine zoo and similar birds would be exempt pending testing but I've no real idea
wilkins1952
Nope, Even in Zoos and other places, You have a positive test ALL birds get culled.
dukegonzo
All birds are to be kept indoors in England (maybe even UK)
Newfehotep
We had pelicans here dead in droves this spring, got a message that no birds can be bought / sold / rehomed until further notice this fall.
elbowdeepinawhateverthatis
Good news, Emmanuel is a beloved pet, owned by experienced/professional emu farmers, and therefore will not be bought/sold/rehomed!
Newfehotep
Right, saying he should have been culled - especially if he had AI he's an extreme danger to everyone the owners come into contact with.
BumbleBeeBeardedGingerBear
Its got to cross to pigs before it can infect humans. It doesnt jump bird to human.
BumbleBeeBeardedGingerBear
Sorry i just took 5m to read up. There are only 2 types of avian flu that can be directly transferable & infection in humans is rare.
SirButcher
It very UNLIKELY to jump to humans, but not impossible. "Just" a need a couple of very unlikely mutation to happen at the same time.
BumbleBeeBeardedGingerBear
?I'll trust a butcher over my 5 minute 4:30am search.
putcleverusernamehere
Downvote Emmanuel, and his owner, every time. Racist tiktokker violating health guidelines that threaten the population? Fuck her
Trainman
Downvote the lady, yes. Not sure why you'd downvote the emu...
