July 28 (UPI) -- A pub in the Australian outback has banned a pair of beloved local emus from the establishment for improper acts, including stealing food and defecating on the floor.
The owners of the Yaraka Hotel in Yaraka (permanent population 18), Queensland, posted a sign at the entrance of the pub stating that the town's local emus, Kevin and Carol, no longer are allowed inside.
"Emus have been banned from this establishment for bad behavior," a sign at the door reads.
Gerry and Chris Gimblett, the business' owners, said they had to ban the emus after the large birds learned to climb the front steps.
"They've been stealing things from the guests, especially their food. They'd stick their heads in and pinch toast out of the toaster," Gerry Gimblett told Guardian Australia.
"But the main reason we've banned them is their droppings. They're enormous, very large and very smelly, and they created great stains," she said.
The Gimbletts said they installed a rope barrier outside the pub and a sign asks customers to remember to close the rope after entering to prevent the emus from following.
"They still hang around each gate, hoping that they'll be able to slip in when someone opens it up," Chris Gimblett told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. "But so far we are winning the war."

The one who sells insurance might.
Not the LiMu Emu I guess.
Modern day dinosaurs just being dinosaurs. What else would they expect?
They brought this on themselves
Haven’t they been following the Liberty Mutual ad series, with LiMu Emu?
Everybody knows that emus behave badly, especially in structured environments. They are more of a free-range type of creature.
Badass bird...
that’s racist- profiling- something-
“A pub in the Australian outback has banned a pair of beloved local emus from the establishment for improper acts, including stealing food and defecating on the floor.”
They sound better behaved than the “peaceful protesters” we put up with is this country.
Yaraka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yaraka is a small rural town in the locality of Isisford in the Longreach Region, Queensland, Australia. The town has a population of 12 with 117 people living in the surrounding area......................
The pub owners have forgotten that humans only live in Australia because the Emus let them...

The machine-gunners dreams of point blank fire into serried masses of Emus were soon dissipated.
The Emu command had evidently ordered guerrilla tactics, and its unwieldy army soon split up into innumerable small units that made use of the military equipment uneconomic. A crestfallen field force therefore withdrew from the combat area after about a month.
Hilarious!................
Sounds just like that place where Crocodile Dundee lived....................
That made Me remember one time in Texas I was at DPS (Department of Public Safety) to renew My DL as the line moves forward I pass a support Post. On the side I can now see is an 8.5 x 11 paper sigh that says:
