Anybody else's emus really sick of the snow? Mine take a look everyday, grumble and go back to bed. I keep telling them just a little longer, I don't think they believe me any longer.
Has anyone had an emu go bad out of the blue. I have 2 emus El and Ed, El is almost 2 and a half years and is a perfect creature, gentle lovable sweet, Ed is almost 1 and a half and this week he has decided to attack my husband several times, hissing biting the whole 9 yards. We have no idea...
