Hi, my name is Chrissy and I just joined this sight today, but I have been reading it for about 6 months. I have 1 emu, Ella, she or he is the love of my life. She will be 1 year old on April 6, and is the funniest most cuddley creature I ever had, I think if she had her way she would spend the entire day with her neck draped over mine being hugged and petted.. she plays all kinds of games, her favorite being fetch with a balled up brown lunch bag. I love her! Thank you for all the great info on this sight, it has been helpful this past year, I'll put her picture up soon.
