My 'project' here just entered its eleventh year. So just for fun, an AMA.
Near Lake Muir in West Australia, we've been watching the behaviour of a single emu family over three generations: territoriality, chicks' diets, how emus interact with other life forms in their environment, how breeding-pairs develop, how wild males incubate.
[Two chicks here this afternoon. 22 months. One is apparently a male. They are orphans belonging to Eric the Emu. Felicity has (we assume) already mated and laid; and come home; and gone off again. Was here last week.]
