| Emus |
|
Our three emus seem like a cross between a ballerina and a dinosaur. They eat all sorts of different seeds, fruits, leaves, grasses, flowers and insects. Emus can run at 48kms per hour. In the wild the female lays eggs but leaves the male to incubate for 8 weeks and then care for the chicks when they hatch. He keeps them warm under his feathers at night. Emus make a strange deep booming sound as they communicate with each other. They have huge deep amber eyes. Our gentle emus wander among the kangaroos and the people.
