I came across some Emus in my travels

There are approximate 700,000 Emus across Australia.
A flightless bird standing up to 2 metres (6.5 feet) tall and weighing 55kg (120 lb)
Second largest bird after the Ostrich.
The adult birds have no natural enemies though their eggs and chicks can be eaten by dingoes, feral dogs, goannas, eagles, pigs, snakes and foxes.
5 to 15 eggs are laid over several days and it is the male incubates the eggs full time. This takes from 8 to 10 weeks.

So the emus won the war. Is there still conflict between farmers and emus?

@ninalanyon Yes, the emus won the war and both sides have decided to live peacefully side by side.🙂
