The Emu Bully by annied

The Emu Bully

Out of the blue this Evil Emu started chasing the poor kangaroos. There was one poor roo that was the brunt of much worse harassment - the folk around tried to protect and reassure him but had to be careful as the emu was just as likely to turn on them. My daughter made sure she always had eyes on the emu as she has dealt with them before - they are crazy she says hahaha - and at one stage put her hand as a stop signal in front of his face - other people around did not seem to realise how dangerous the emu could actually be if you weren't careful - the emu and the roos can give an extremely powerful kick.
Interestingly there was one much larger roo the emu left alone - funny how bullies pick on those who are smaller, weaker, or don't pose a threat.

@dibzgreasley I can only assume but it had started to ease off when we began moving on so I guess it calmed down but I am sure it happens on a regular basis - Emus are a weird mob hahahaha

Wonderful reportage. I know that Emu make the most amazing, deep throaty / chesty booming noise.

I love how you put the emu and roo on each end and they have quite a stern look on their faces. Great collage and story.
