My 5 year old son is named Ella because I didn't know he was a he until he was about a year old and at that point he already knew his name so why change it.
In the summer they do sleep breast to breast with space between them but in the winter they sleep side by side as tight together as possible for maximum heat. When I put my hand between them it's red hot even when it's freezing out. Even though they are in an enclosed horse barn at night They...
My 5 year old was raised with a goose that he really bonded with , they hung out all day and swam together in their pool. One day a dog came and grabbed the goose and my emu looked for it for awhile and was quite bummed out so when a lady offered me a three month old emu that needed a home I...
Well I've never tried to walk my emus but my 4 year old has been playing with a small stuffed car that talks when you touch it since he was a chick, I have videos of him stomping it hissing at it and tossing it in the air. My 5 year old likes those cheap small fleecy blankets that you get for 3...

Good luck with your new babies , I have 2 adult boys and I love them more than anything. I think they are more fun when they're adults, mine have to help with everything. My older bird El is bird perfection, friendly, cuddly, smart, calm, he twirls with joy when I come to the barn in the morning...
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.
One of my boys whacked the top of his foot on a gate post while running around and it swelled up and was hot. He went right to his nest and let me put one of those gel ice packs wrapped in a hand towel on it, and let me wait on him for 2 days and then the swelling went down and he was fine, try...
Well update on my boys, we had a "Happy" accident that solved the boys fighting immediately. The boys were racing around their pens at full speed, I was standing there watching to make sure there was no fighting and El crashed right into Ed and kept going, poor Ed flipped over backwards. Both...
Finally got my 2 boys vaccinated for triple E, its a little late in the year but at least they will be all set for spring, it wasn't cheap though, with the barn call and the exam it ended up being 180.00 for 2 birds and she still has to come back in 3 weeks for a booster.
