Better puppies than emus, those things hurt when they nip you, major pinch”””
You definately do NOT want an emu to attack you. They have legs & feet left over from the dinosaur age, and they can totally eviscerate an opponent with one swipe. Neighbor used to have 2 of them Then he had only one. The female sliced the male open top to bottom with one swipe. Gues he didn’t believe her when she said “I have a headache’. Claws that can do the same to a human.
We had a healthy respect for what they could do to us but still got nipped when we were trying to corral them. They were too busy running to do anything but that I suppose, that and they were relatively tame.
