Will An Emu Eat My Plant?

[Cynic]

I have an emu in the backyard and im scared it might eat my plant, its on a barrel out in the back, and unfortunately it isn't high enough to prevent the emu from taking a chunk out of it.. My plant recently sexed to a female, so now I feel even more protective of my plant...

What should I do?

peace

[gangjababy]

Looks like if you could tame it that it would make a great watch bird. Aren't emu's supposed to be kind of dangerous, don't they have big hooks in their claws that they can raise and slash the hell of a person?

EMU...the protector guardian...protector of the garden....

nah emu's are pretty docile... in australia we have a bird in the northern parts called a Cassowary Cassowary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
that might be the one you are thinking of.
these bastards are truly evil and will not think twice about ripping your guts out and feeding on your insides

 

[smartsoverambition]

ummm.............. U HAVE A FUCKING EMU, IN UR FUCKING BACKYARD WITH UR FUCKING WEED PLANT....................................
U R THE FUCKING MAN THAT'S KINDA BADASS
no but seriously why do u have an emu in ur backyard?
i've always wanted to ride an emu
but seriously i wouldn't be as worried about the emu eating ur plant as it slashing at it they may be docile but they have some serious mean streaks u might wanna tie it to a fence

Yes, that's the one I'm thinking about, nasty looking creature. Christ, if you aussies didn't have enough to worry about with sharks, salties, snakes and spiders.

I think it's pretty fantastic that you have an Emu. LOL! How random and hilarious!

Hopefully you can isolate your plant, because Emus are omnivores and eat grasses, plants, insects, etc. Apparently, they love grass shoots- so, it's possibly that the emu will eat the plant if you allow it to. If you can't isolate the plant and/or hide it from Mr. Emu, why not try distracting the emu with treats, etc. OR, in the alternative, hang something nearby that's scary to birds. DO NOT use tin foil- some birds think it's fun to play with and find it more interesting than scary.

that is a barstard of a bird make a good snack 4 the munchies tho lol
kangaroo's r worse

 

[MisterNiceGuy]

a dingo....what???
the dingo eat your baby!

and I just asked my ex-girl's dad and he says since they eat greens and grass if your plant is bright to the emu it'll gobble your shit up and sleep all day yo
like what i would do if i found your plants
but i'm not an EMU or and EMO

 

[misshestermoffitt]

I be worried that the Emu would shit on the plant. That's got to be some giant shit !
