URBANA, Ill. (WTVO) — A missing emu in Central Illinois is still on the run.
Illinois State Police tried to catch the animal on I-74 in Urbana on Tues day, but it got away.
Experts said that it is going to be hard to catch the emu if they do not have the right resources. The bird can run as fast as 30 miles per hour, and it is in wide open space right now. The emu is believed to have been on the lam since September. Experts said that it is not surprising it has survived this long, but residents should not approach if they see it.

All of that, and they would blend right in with the standing corn or soybeans popular in the area.

—”They made good guard animals for the chickens because they thought they were just a big chicken.”
A relative serviced Nato missiles across Europe.
He said flocks of geese were used and they could hurt you and make lots of noise.
“He’ll be back.” -Doug.
Actually, they taste more like pork.
When we occupied the headgates in Klamath Falls in 2001, an Emu rancher barbequed for all of us.
It was delicious!
Yup! It can’t outrun a bullet!
They can eat anything they can catch, plus vegetation. You don’t “train” birds to eat, pecking at everything, whether it is provided or randomly found, to determine if it tastes good comes naturally.
Cool.
LOL!
You can tell that’s a ceremonial emu caller by the fancy decorations...
Ever tough an emu? You can feel its emu oil all over its feathers. Emu oil penetrates the skin better than any other substance and is highly effective for treating burns which is why ever household should have a bottle of it. I use it whenever I get burned while cooking. Unbelievably effective.
