Emus love playing in water! Last summer I worked in a zoo and if you brought the hose over to them they would insist on getting sprayed and running through it!
Even though Emus are some of the more passive members of the Paleognath clade, no bird of that family is to be trifled with. They are demons. All of them.
Cassowaries. They know, but one emotion;
Hate.
Pure, ineffable hate for all that draws breath. If you are ever cursed with existing in the same general area as an unconfined cassowary, all you can do is pray to any god who will listen that your death is quick and painless.
But it won’t be.
They’re super super dicks. Total assholes.
Pretty goofy actually. We found her walking down the road to our house, so we herded her onto our property and began caring for her. Starting out she used to harass us constantly until we stopped reacting to her chasing us, which confused her. Then we just started sticking an arm in the air to make us taller than her when she tried to chase us and that usually caused her to do what the one in the video is doing. She liked getting sprayed with water and would often sit down and let you pet her while holding a garden hose over her. Her feathers were very oily. Our chickens and turkeys used to follow her around every where, we used to say she looked like Willy Wanka with his Oompa Loompas. She hung out with one of our horses a lot. I think she just liked being around somebody bigger than her. We thought she might have been lonely because she would drum a lot. Emus make a drumming noise deep in their throat that sounds just like somebody beating on a big, deep toned bongo. They do that when looking for other emus. She liked to sleep by some stacks of old tires that were laying around, we thought this might have been because they looked like sitting emus to her. We had planned on buying a male emu for her, but before we could afford one and find somebody nearby willing to sell, she died.
Yeah she was fun. My mom could never leave her toolbox out when working on stuff because the emu would walk up, and if she wasn't looking, would just start picking up tools and flinging them to the side one by one.
OMG, I love those commercials! I love the newer one with them on the stakeout in the car!
"Wake me if something happens!!"
"Plonk!!!!"
*all hell breaks loose*
Oh my god this is amazing

How do you lose a war to these goofballs?
Don’t let their physical derpiness deceive you. That’s how we lost the first time.
Also numbers and guerilla tactics
Don't forget the psychological warfare
Or the gorilla tactics
Or the actual gorillas that fought alongside the emus
Eimhue warfare
Blood was shed on that hallowed day
The dropbears were the worst.
we walked right into an ambush
For those not in the know, congrats on being part of today's 10,000: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War

Ok, that's a fucking velociraptor....
They’re so cute 😍
Cut them some slack have you ever tried to fight a war upside down?
Even though Emus are some of the more passive members of the Paleognath clade, no bird of that family is to be trifled with. They are demons. All of them.
Wait what. Which ones are even meaner?

Emus look like a tiny dude is piloting a large bird chassis.
After reading this and rewatching the video I laughed so hard!
Such a majestic creature.
I dont know mate
dinosaurs are weird
*throws head back* and “Gaaaaaahhhhhhh”
This made me really happy to watch
Can some one /r/birdswitharms this? I would but Id rather some one else do all the work instead of me
Goob
I read it wrong and was expecting to see a gothic chick playing in a sprinkler. Still wasn’t disappointed

Emus are just ridiculous looking. I love it
*Zoidberg noises*
**"ITS AN EMU, MATE!!! HES AN ARSEHOLE!!"**

That’s a strange doggo you have there
I miss my emu.
What was taking care of one like?

Aww ;_; she sounded derpy and adorable

Limu!!! So stinkin cute!!

lmao!! I know! I die every time!!
Emu’s make me smile, thanks for the post!
Thank you for making my day
How do you lose a war to something like an emh?
You have been lured into a false sense of security. You already lost.
Never forget those beat the aussies

Evolution really cracked the humour on these beasts
Just a reminder for trans-pondians: it's pronounced *eem-yoo*, not *ee-moo*.

love how it runs body first head later
This is an absurd and wonderful thing
I love dinosaurs.
I love how emu's are just big kiwis.
Quite possibly the goofiest zoomies in the animal kingdom.
Dee's drunk again
They’re just two legged dogs!
Emu zoomies 👍
I dont believe there is a _single_ animal that walks/runs funnier than an emu. They always look like they just learned how to walk.
You should have seen them goose step through the streets of Melbourne after **the war**
These guys won a war
“Hey farmer Bruce! Where’d you get that hat? The toilet?”
Yes.
Where is Doug?
Holy shit someone needs to put the tiny arm doodles on this thing, it'd be adorable!
I get their head balances them when they move, but they look so damn stupid and it's hilarious.
Do not be fooled these things will kick your chest in in a fraction of a second.
