Sorry, I missed your reply! The problem with barbed wire fences is that they might run full tilt into them and seriously injure themselves, so it's recommended not to use them to contain them.

You have to pen them. They're semi-nomadic in the wild and wander pretty far. If you let yours free range there's a good chance it will just go wandering off.

I wouldn't say bond as in become friends with them, but if raised with them they will tolerate poultry and not chase them, etc. They kick and stomp things that they don't like - so small predators like foxes, raccoons, etc, are asking for death if they wander into an emu pen. They probably...
