Apropos of nothing I thought you might enjoy this from one of my local Facebook pages:
Many years ago, my step mom ended up with emus because she saw one run passed her house. We had neighbors a couple of miles away with an emu farm, and she thought it was one of theirs. It turns out that it wasn't, but they gave my step mom another emu so it would have a mate. She had those birds for many years before they both died. The eggs are so cool looking. Big and green and they remind me of avocados.
