So, we've got ourselves another stray animal story, this time we just don't know where the heck this bird came from.
An emu with injuries to their neck and right wing is safe at our Escondido Campus this morning. Our Humane Officers & Emergency Response Team received a call about the bird running loose in Vista last night. The emu will receive medical care while we search for a possible owner. pic.twitter.com/LQSJXWAX20— San Diego Humane Society (@sdhumane) April 3, 2025
Yeah, in the San Diego suburbs some poor hurt emu was just wandering around helplessly on the streets. The humane society doesn't know where he came from or how he got to Vista.
The San Diego Humane Society said Humane Law Enforcement Officers and the Emergency Response Team responded Wednesday night to a report of a large bird wandering through a yard in Vista.
They arrived to find an emu with injuries to its neck and right wing.
Again ... this is really weird. I wonder how he could have been injured.
(Sorry, the gif was perfect)
One would assume it got out of some exotic animal farm or petting zoo nearby. But the fact that no owner has come forward is a bit odd.
The rescuers got the bird to a doctor and have named it "Claudius" because, well, I guess that's just what you name a stray emu.
Next!
Gad I hate those ads! I will never ever buy insurance from Liberty Mutual no matter how many YouTube videos they interrupt.
I kinda like them but they overdo them...............
Where it came from?
Ok. Here’s the scoop.
When a mommy emu and a daddy emu love each other very much……
I like the cheesy factor of the ads.
I’ll take him.
Some people keep emu as a pet. We saw a stray emu in Shenandoah National Park many years ago. We reported the sighting to a ranger. A local zoo keeper caught the emu. According to the zoo keeper, animals like this wander into the Park from a private home.
Yes, that’s what makes them funny.................
...and try to sell the tourists car insurance.............
From what I understand emus are an FAFO kind of bird, maybe we could release them among crowds of liberals.
I thought the borders were sealed?????
There was an Emu roaming locally for years.
I called every agency to go get it but they were all scared of being disemboweled.
You haven’t lived until you see a random Emu standing in an Appalachian hay field.
You question reality.
I like them; especially the one where he runs away from home.
The one with the Emu wife wearing a wig, pearls and glasses was funny.
You’ve got to tie your emu down, Sport.
It was born here most likely...........
What do emus eat?........................
Emu eggs?
