All is excitement here. I seem to be inheriting five new emus!!
Some time ago, I noted that a mob of chicks (one-year old) turned up at the house-clearing. Well, the mystery is solved: it was Eric the Emu, the father of my three birds. Yesterday, he turned up again, with the same five chicks, and they started eating the wheat on the ground. My emus are still at loggerheads with Eric himself, but the chicks are their siblings (Do emus understand this?), and my emus let them eat wheat nine emus for the dawn feeding!!
So, once again we have the pitter patter of prehistoric avian feet at the farmhouse; and I'm gonna go on Oprah this week, to appeal for emu-wheat funding.
