Emus and Hay Netting

[vicw1025]

I'm looking for a good location for a 100'x50' emu enclosure. There's some hay netting in the ground where I what to build the pen. Does this sound dangerous for emus? I don't think there's a trip hazard, but will they try to eat it.

I don’t have emus, but my instinct tells me they would try to eat it. Is it in large pieces, or tiny shreds? Can you remove it? That patch of ground would be better off having the netting removed, no matter what your plans for it are.

Netting is also liable to snag toes/beaks if they peck or scratch, even if it's buried in the ground a bit.
