2's company, 3's a crowd, so what is 7?
Found these emus all together today at Tower Hill. Do you know what a group of emus is called?

I googled a collective noun for them and found 'a mob of emus'. It seems appropriate! Nice shot.

According to the Aussie 12 Days of Christmas it is 7 emus laying, but there are different versions of it.

7 emus laying would be an orgy Babs wouldn't it?

You could be right Terry, that is probably why the words were changed to another version. Don't want to upset the kiddies or have them asking difficult questions.

Good shot! I think the collective noun for emus is mob - a mob of emus.

I saw a video of an emu chasing some men. Are they dangerous that way?

I love Sam's answer! A mob is perfectly suited to them though! It was fun reading through the comments above.
