Aug. 19 (UPI) -- A Colorado police department said officers had a "pretty emu-sing day" when a large, flightless bird was spotted running loose in Lakewood.
The Lakewood Police Department posted photos to social media showing the emu officers found "playing in the street" in the Colfax and Quail area.
"We had a pretty emu-sing day here at LPD today," the post said. "Your eyes aren't tricking you. That's an emu!"
Officers worked together with animal control and the Regional Transportation District police to wrangle the Australian animal and return it home.
"No word on if Doug was waiting for him or not," police wrote

They look like dangerous birds, like rabid democrats.
Mr VASKYPILOT and I once saw an emu in Shenandoah National Park. The Park service had a local wild life expert capture it. We spoke to him afterward. He said the main concern is injury to the bird.
At least they didn’t end up killing this one like the one in Arizona a few weeks ago.
Was he selling insurance?...................
“Feral emus” sounds like the name of a punk rock group.
Main concern should have been where could they find an fry tank big enough.
No, they were a thing for a while then everyone cut them loose.
I have a colony that survives on my ranch, origin unknown.
I’ve shot them before. Taste like old tough turkey.
They like to follow cows and are pretty skittish to predators, which alerts the mamma cows, so I’m leaving them alone now.
Liberty, Liberty, Liberty……
They look like domesticated, deweaponized Cassowary Birds.
Cassowarys could open a can of green peas just using the front of their claws.
You gotta admit-that is absolutely advertising that works!
I guarantee that nearly every person in the USA who reads this article thinks about insurance. Damn. That must make their advertising department swoon...:)
Only pay for what you need
Where’s Doug?
Life [insurance].. finds a way.
If you hold your hands behind your back, stick your neck out and take long steps, you can emulate an emu.
If you then stick your head into your lower orifice, you can emulate a Democrat.
Don’t grab an emu by the neck.
They’ll kick your ass.
I think it’s Limu, escaped from Doug!
