. I was thinking small pen to keep dad safe! I have seen birds that will hurt themself rather then let you take chicks away. Maybe a 4' x4' with wood sides 6' tall about 1' off the ground. Put food in pen wait for them to go in close gate, then you can net his chicks under the wall and no one gets hurt. And you are right emus can be hard to work if they don't want to.Hey, Dodo!! Certainly my suggestions were not great -- the carbdoard-box trap would work if you were sufficiently patient, but we all know we're clutchin' at straws here.
FOR GENERAL CONSUMPTION:
never ever put yourself in a small space with a male whose chicks you are trying to take.
We've had long and impassioned discussions over the years about Are Emus Ornery? SUV-front-seat-lock porridge-brains post on Youtube "Emu Attacked My Wife"; but the reality is never worse than a ravaged cupcake.
But when denied the chance to run, a bird may lash out; and it will do so way way faster than a human can deal with.
I've had the privilege of watching emus lash out during fights for territory, twice from close close range; and it made my heart beat fast.
