My Emus Have Gone

[Supreme Emu]

My emus both disappeared about a week ago.

Readers may remember that about a year ago I tried to 'rehabilitate' them, but they came home. However, they are fully adult now; breeding season has begun; the drought has broken and there's good feed around. So, I don't think they've had an accident. I think they've gone off to mate.

I am sure they'll turn up some time; but it will be lonely here for a while. I am so used to Felicity walking through the car port, and Greedy sticking her beak up against the lounge room window. I've fed them twice a day for over eight hundred days; but it is a good thing for them.

well the good thing is they will be back in a few months with more chicks in tow. right?

Awwww, they'll be back. They know where they're safe.

 

[Supreme Emu]

I've thought about that, Foulman: they're both females!

And yes, Chickenzoo (I've finally figured out the Names Thing, but I'll always think of you as 'Emu Hugger'), they will come back; but I'm not sure they'll ever again base themselves around the house as they used to.

I think when they get the craving for juicy figs they'll bring the whole new family.

And I never minded you calling me Emu Hugger
