Something about my dog is off this morning...
Meet my spoiled 1 year old emu, "Roo". I wake up to this every day. People keep telling me its super interesting so I thought I'd share it.
Have a good one!
ArtOzz

"Do they have sharp talons?"

they have ripped 3 people to death [ fact ]

F that! First thing I saw and thought of raptures “ Clever girl...”
P0stalBomber
You got a big cock
MarbleSoup
This is a lie. The emu keeps them as a pet, not the other way around. Australians have been slaves to Emus since the Great War.
LargePoutine
Are you saying your bird emulates a dog?
HonestbutSweetAboutIt
That's kinda terrifying

damnitemmett
She definitely does. I crack the door a bit so she can have her head inside but het body outside lol
Strostkovy
I saw that post actually
damnitemmett
Lol good. I'm going to put up a video of her running around when i come home and she sees me after work. Always so happy and hyper lol
SocietyOfSensation
The cat nailed that door shut ages ago. There is no way he is going outdoors ever with that slenderman looking bird out there.
RobertEarlDavis
How does one spoil an Emu?
HurtfulThings
IDK, that's a llama
colinstu
Food.
damnitemmett
It lives being pet. It will plop down and fall asleep in your lap of you sit Indian style

You store it past the expiration date.

So...why do you own an emu?
HurtfulThings
What emu? That is a llama, dude
damnitemmett
I love in the country and have had every other kind of pretty yout could imagine. Emu wad the next on my list lol

Is she telling him about that one time she asked to speak to the manager?

I get that you think you are emuzing, but you should be casso-wary of your sense of humour. it's pretty ost-ful.

Yep that’s an emu...

Australians were disarmed as part of the agreement due to losing the great Emu War of 1932 & our only protection is keeping the doors shut

See as a non Australian i a not sure if its true or a myth, also i heard about Kiwi wars
Geniefromdownunder
The emu war was a real thing.
idontlikehats
Australian emu war real. Kiwi war definately not real. Kiwi are our national bird and are very much endangered
RoboCoonie
I *love* that that was a real thing.

uhum, yea. so great.

The Scientific American article URL is too long to copy and a google shortened URL makes it spammy, so you'll have to look that article up.

It was alright at best.
Nommy86
Emu is actually quite tasty, no fat on it and delicious
InTheDistanceAPlaintiveEnglishHorn
I've only had ostrich

It's not an emu, it's obviously a llama
ArtOzz
Kangaroo is good in a burger.
mattdubois
ive had it as a stew
InTheDistanceAPlaintiveEnglishHorn
I think I've only had kangaroo steak. But ostrich burgers.
boofhead60
have you tried stopping a one drumstick
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
If it tastes anything like ostrich, it's indeed delicious. Ostrich is almost a beef substitute.
thewhifflingtit
Mmm, I would love to try ostrich meat.

Does he come inside? Is he friendly? I have so many questions...

She does come inside briefly nowadays but they inspect things by grabbing then with their mouth so things start flying off the counter quick

How horrible is the poop factor?

CAN IT BE HUGGED AND/OR PET, DAMMIT?!

i've pet emus at zoos before
sometimesipostsockshere
Does it feel like sun is shining, smiling and warmly embracing your soul?
SmartAssRN
This! I need to know this!
TheWetLustyArgonianMaid
It's roughly friend shaped, so yes.
ctesibius
He's not poisonous. That's as friendly as the wildlife gets in Australia!
ScaryScarab
This is today"s equivalent to a Velociraptor coming to your back porch. Sure go hug it!
Cyanide555
If it was a cassowary... maybe
JessieJanson
.... Perhaps they are related? o.O (genetically they have allot in common)
dokpsy
Birds are descended from the avian dinosaurs which would include raptors....
JessieJanson
yeah. Though given their appearance i was thinking more directly descended.
dokpsy
Well morphologically, it's pretty clear. Though there may be a few intermediary steps
ScaryScarab
We even have Raptors today technically (predatory birds).
thewhifflingtit
Velociraptors were small and had many pointy bits, like sharp claws and teeth. Emus are big and don't have sharp claws or teeth. Besides
dannie314
They do have big feet with claws. But you can pet, hug and they like to feed out your hands. Very majestic creatures
thewhifflingtit
being feathered and bird-shaped there's not all that much common been them.
dokpsy
Velociraptors may have been smaller, think large chicken sized, but many of the family was feathered. These are utahraptors.
ScaryScarab
In JP- people get pissed they made the raptors too big, but there is evidence that the dinosaurs used were actually velociraptors after all/
ScaryScarab
You know the whole "velociraptors in Jurassic Park" argument?, I know a good source to explain why so many are actually wrong about that.
