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?

[Hazel]

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

[John]

How exotic and interesting!

[john39]

I like that shot!

[Sam]

7 = ALOT!

[Denise Wood]

@quietpurplehaze Thumbs up to Hazel for getting it corect :)
@gigiflower And thumbs up to Sam for a creative guess :)

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

[Poppo Livy]

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

[Babs]

@terryliv 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.

[Tony]

Excellent capture of that group.

[Debbie]

Great shot Denise ....well spotted

[sally agnew]

They look great with yellow flowers and ocean as the backdrop :)

[Dione Giorgio]

Thanks to Hazel I learnt something new. A very pretty shot of them.

[Margo]

Great find. Unusual to see so many together

[Louise]

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

[Jane Anderson]

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

[Faye Turner]

Great shot!

[Hazel]

@terryliv @onewing

Think it would need to be lying instead of laying to be an emu orgy - pardon me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Julie Ryan]

cool shot!

[Joyce]

Great capture and an interesting discussion

[Merrelyn]

Great find.

[Sally Ings]

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