If it's not a kak, it is one of two...
:popcorn2:
I kinda want an emu, been watching videos and reading about people in the US with them. So cute :xflove:
Lol! A neighbor walked into our yard and asked if we had seen an emu wandering about. He said "you know.. a REALLY big bird."
"Yes.. I know what an emu is. No I haven't seen one wandering about. I think I would have noticed."

I never heard if he recovered his escapee...

We actually have an Emu farm down the street. One night one of them escaped. My daughter's dog sleeps near the window and when she looked out she had a come apart because the evil emu overlord was running around her front yard. Ever since then she barks at every bird now!!! She was traumatized!!!!:laughing7:
It took them about a week to catch the thing.

I say "Eeee Mew" but I am from the Deep South. I have heard it said Eee moo
Yeah that is what I always hear, I have yet to hear an American pronounce it correctly.

Say it! Can't be keeping secrets from friends you know!


@AussieBird send me a sneaky PM if you find out ok lol
I'd feel too evil!
People kept it a secret for me, I wouldn't want to do it to someone else!
(Unless some of you were secretly sharing via PM! :jawdrop1:)

Ok well how about evil Em you overlord...... will that work. :laughing7:
It's funny how different words can be pronounced.... I grew up in the military so we moved around a lot. Needless to say my "accent" has changed a lot over the years but I have been in the Deep South for a long time now... I need to take a trip and get a new accent....

I barely understand the permit system :lol:
Also aren't they social? I'd have to get two :angelic:
I have two emus- both girls

for what it’s worth, they’re actually territorial and aren’t interested in each other. Mine are siblings raised together from hatch.
girls are more bossy too lol.
