The Emu is a flightless bird that belongs to the Ratite family. It is the largest bird native to Australia, while also enjoying an increase in numbers throughout Europe due to a growing interest in the emu farming industry. With a stride that can reach over 2 metres and a sprint speed of up to 31 mph, the emu can easily travel great distances, which it often does in the wild when searching for food. It may sound surprising but emus love water, and are able swimmers.
Although our birds don't have the luxury of a pool they do love sitting under a sprinkler in the summer! Emus are very curious birds, something we are all too familiar with, and will follow and watch over other animals and people. Emus get sleep through short stints whilst sitting down. The emu has strong clawed feet and extremely strong legs which it utilises when it feels threatened. They also have incredible eyesight and hearing, which makes them very alert to their surroundings. The emu has two sets of eye lids, one for blinking, and one for keeping out dust.
The emu is a soft feathered bird. Their feather structure prevents heat from flowing into the skin, allowing the emu to stay active during the hottest seasons. It is difficult to visually differentiate between a male and female bird, however the sounds they make are noticeably different. The male is also more friendly, with the female being more nervous. Emus can be sexed through DNA testing on the feathers, which is the technique we use in order to be certain of their sex. Emus are susceptible to many of the usual bird infections, which you will be familiar with if you keep other poultry. Infections can be transmitted by other birds, or even people. With sensible routines and good hygiene, the emu will stay healthy.
