Are Dougs banned too?

[kempster]

Emus’s are being banned because they found they are giving people more than what they need.

[Seruzawa]

Wait til they get the walking sharks demanding free drinks.

Now, Gimblett says, she's hoping the birds won't figure out how to maneuver, limbo-style, under the rope and up the stairs.
How well can these birds jump?

Those Emus are kind of aggressive. They don’t sit and wait to be fed, they lunge forward and take it from you.

Even with that, do not get them mixed up with their distant cousin the Cassowary Bird. The Cassowary has long front claws like little daggers, and will leap into you if they feel threatened or maybe just annoyed. Quick disembowelment of the target is in the Cassowary game plan.

“But then the Emus learned to climb the stairs.”

There you have the title to a new science fiction book.

[Flick Lives]

...the birds – siblings Kevin and Carol — are a friendly and wide-eyed source of entertainment . But then the emus learned to climb the stairs.

Clever girl!

Sorry. I once asked a guy who raised emus, how many you gotta squeeze to get a quart of emu oil. He got pissed. I called him Dick. Should of called him Doug.

My neighbor raises emus. And peacocks.

One day a terrible commotion was heard coming from his place. Some of the local kids had apparently read "Swiss Family Robinson" and decided that if ostrich could be ridden then so could emus. But the emus had never read the book and all they knew was that these small humans were attempting to climb on them. They did not take well to this and started kicking.

The kids ran in the only direction they could which was into the peacock area. Who started screaming and pecking. The peacocks, not the kids. Although by this time the kids were screaming too.

And this caused the dogs to start barking.

Which got all the dogs in the area to start barking.

We had not had this much excitement since the buffalo decided to roam.

Emus and peacocks and dogs, oh my!

[blueunicorn6]

“If they had control of their bowels, the emus would be allowed inside.”

Kept me out of a few places, too.

My son has two of them at his hemp farm. They love to eat the hemp.
Every predator is scared of them

"They're a tad incontinent,"
