Wow, I'd love to have one, but probably couldn't afford the feed
Thats a sweet story, that would've been awesomeI only pay $30 for 150 pounds of feed. I got that much just before he hatched and he's not even close to getting through that even 4 months later. I matched the nutritional value of the commercial Ratite feed, and I think I got it right because Gerry is absolutely thriving on it. I took the nutritional value of several different kinds of feed such as chick starter, chicken brooder and rabbit feed and averaged it out so it was a close match to the Mazuri Ratite feed.
When he's not eating the feed the dandelions poking up out of the lawn are the first to get eaten, there's lots of weeds he likes to eat, sort of an unforeseen bonus to having an Emu in the back yard because it's pretty much weed free there now. The organic fertilizer doesn't hurt the lawn either, so I guess you could say what I spend on food is more than made up for with the lawn service.
I wish I had a camera with me last night, I had him out for a walk while I was waiting for the laundry to finish and the neighbors had some family over when he decided to go visit them. He was running with the kids who were having a blast playing with the big bird and the parents were laughing till their sides hurt. He was a little faster than the kids were so he'd weave back and forth so as not to pass them, then he'd come running back ready to go again, probably the first time I've seen him tired out because he slept good last night.
That was an awesome and it was beautiful, Thanks for sharingI made a little video, as we were out today...
