Big Bird

I learned something really interesting about emus. They have two sets of eyelids, one for blinking and the other for keeping the dust out! London Zoo series

Look at those clawed feet! Wow. An impressive bird! I wonder what, if any, their relationship is with the ostrich.

@cocokinetic I just read this on Google - Emus and ostriches both belong to the same family of birds, the ratite. They are similar in appearance and share genetic traits. Emus are native to Australia, while ostriches are native to Africa

[Nigel Rogers]

Wow, that's some beast of a bird.
