Tame Emu Guy is really Supreme Emu – I’ve just popped in: I have a new email address.
Three emus in residence: Eric and Mrs Eric, who are fairly wild. Greedy the Emu left a couple of months ago. Felicity Emu returned after an absence of seven months. An emu who sometimes passes through brought a newly-hatched chick to within ten yards of the back fence. It was so small it was having trouble ploughing through the grass. Another bird, Number One, the third chick that I tamed, and which I thought was dead, is apparently alive: she is not tame, but comes to the edge of the house-clearing. She’s a lovely big dark bird.
I’ve been observing the birds here for nearly four years now. Fig season starts in a couple of weeks, and the annual emu wars – the house-clearing has the best food within miles – are underway, with sometimes a dozen or more birds jockeying for social position around the fig trees.
The avatar photo is of two of the three wild emu chicks that I tamed, taken several years ago in front of the fig trees.
