Are emus dangerous

[salshep20]

Yep. Mine are tame, and usually very sweet. But I had a male get loose and he did not like it that I grabbed him to walk him back home, and he kicked me in the shoulder, and then kicked sideways out from under him aiming for my stomach and luckily only got my shirt.

So they can be dangerous. I'm not really worried about mine up and attacking me, but they can hurt you if they want to.

and were could I find and egg to incubate it and would kind of incubator would I use

Local farms, breeders, and online.

If you are in the USA, which state are you in? If you are not in the USA, which country do you live in?

does their kick hurt??

I imagine it does. Again, Pyxis had their shirt literally shredded, that kick also scraped them and left bruising without her getting that full impact. They're not as mean or aggressive as Casawarries (a similar, brighter bird from south America (?), but those birds have been known to kill with a kick, same as ostriches which I know are in the same family as emus.)

Just don't let them kick you. That hurts!

does their kick hurt??

Oh yeah.

And that was a bad shot, he didn't get me full on.

A well-aimed kick can eviscerate a human.
