This is a very large (up to 72 inches/6 feet tall) bird, native to Australia. There was a very large boom of emu consumption in the US... birds were going for up to $800 for one. However, that bubble popped, and now they are almost considered a loss to farm, unless commercially farmed.

im an australian remides me of the outback:goodpost:
Pros: Friendly, easy keepers, compatible with other farm animals
Cons: Like to peck everything and it hurts! They also love water and climb in the clean trough every time.
We purchased eggs off eBay and hatched them. We handled and played with them a lot. They are almost 7 months old and love people. They play and run around a lot but also come when called. Definately going to get some more. Just have to be careful cause they can kick and hurt you badly so we always approach them from behind if we need to catch or handle them.

There was an emu named patches I got to know, he would live with the goats, sheep, and mini cows. Sweetest guy. The one thing of interest is he likes feet. Mostly to pick the dirt or "bugs" off the bottom of your shoes. we would lift up our leg and he would sit down and lightly peck the sole of our boots. Love him so much!
 
I love emus so much!!! I'm hoping to get 2 for myself next summer! Thank you for this post (especially the pictures )
 
We are moving to NC with 5.5 acres of land. I so want an emu... where does one get a baby? How are are they to hatch. I love hatching peacocks and chicks... I would love to hatch an emu and raise it from an itty bitty.
 
I would love to get some of these, however I don't have a pasture to put them in. I can see me just walking around with one of these following me haha :D
