Lulz! Thanks SurfieTX! Mr. wm and I love watching American Pickers!

Steely, What do Emus eat? I am worried about the emu being hungry while on the lam!

Emus are omnivores, and they will eat anything that is remotely edible, including some things which are not. They are very curious birds that will try almost anything, using their large beaks to peck at and pick up food.

Commonly, they eat insects, caterpillars, grubs and other invertebrates; seeds, nuts, flowers, fruits, young leaves and other plant parts; lizards, other small animals and even animal droppings. They do not eat dry grasses or older leaves, even if that's all that is available to them. They are more likely to move on to other food sources.

Emus also swallow quite large stones and charcoal to help them digest their food.

Well if they'd go over to Steely's house I'm sure they find their emu.

Steely,

It's late Sunday - oh, actually Monday - and ... either way ... time you came over to pick up your emu. I mean, she's adorable, but ... my husky's had enough butt pokes for one weekend.

- Em

Till I saw the videos above I had forgotten what an ungainly sort of creature an emu is.

It's been five long weeks! I read the entire thread but I seem to notice an alibi is missing from a certain someone. Where were you five weeks ago?!?!

Apparently this emu is desiring intellectual discourse and possibly 3rd grade geography (or chicken nuggets) as it was last seen in front of the principal's office of an elementary school. Now that is how you get noticed! :great:

(Please note, the emu's owner has placed a classified ad stating the emu is free to one who can capture it.)
