Emu's

Did you know that Emus can not fly, but can run up to 30mph in short distances? The Emu originated from Australia and has thrived there for over 80 million years. When Emus are breeding the female lays between 9 and 20 dark green eggs. The male parent does all the incubating of the eggs and when they hatch the chicks stay with the dad until they are 5-7 months old. They love to eat fruits, insects, seeds, and grass. The Emu can grow up to 5.5 to 6 foot in height. They look very similar to the ostrich, except emus have 3 toes and ostriches have 2 toes. They have very distinct calls compared to other birds. The chicks whistle and the males make a grunting sound and the females make a drum like noise. Emus are commonly bred by farmers for their meat and hide.
