Raised and had emus in Florida, when we started a boom. Emus would enjoy a good shred of any possums or raccoons that came into their paddock.
Side note, if you snatch and grab an emu by the vestigial wings, and grab one close like you’re a Greek Gay Guy, you are safe from talons as long as you stay behind, hup two three four hup two three four/. Don’t let one spin on ya! SHRED your jeans.......
But don’t try that with a cassowary, that’s a bad ass emu that went to the Marines.
They are strange. My son would be working on his truck and the emu would peck him on the head. Don’t wear earrings around them either.
When they saw a coyote, they would make the scariest sound like a space alien
