@Manzanita – they’re pretty scary in the wild. And the green is pretty cool too – there’s been so much rain, even the desert is green this year!!! I’m glad you blamed rambling on grass growing rather than my blog though …

I've only seem emus behind tall fences but it sounds like they are not a favorite to most people.
You Aussies do have a variety of everything. Colors galore too. I suppose you do need things for amusement when rained in. "Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day." We've had it here too. I can actually watch the grass grow before my eyes. Grass blades love it.
Sorry, I've taken to rambling. That's what happens when you watch grass grow. :)
Love and peace

@JE – couldn’t we learn a lot from them!!
@Sailor – thanx!
@Mary – So have they got it right? Or wrong?? Maybe they’ve stayed the same and other creatures have had the reversal! Stop, my head’s spinning!!!
@Lilly – you’ll be dynamite if this ever comes up at quiz nites!!!
@SFlaGuy – I’m a mine of (some would say useless) information!!!

@Andrew – Google told me, therefore it must be so!! Actually, it’s in all the bird books too … and the day you stop being nervous around emus is the day you should watch your back!
@Betty – so how highly evolved are you? Do you take after the male? Or the female??
@Magsx2 – Haha, that’s what I thought!!!
@Dianne – hey, didn’t know that! Now who would have thought penguins and emus had anything in common??!!

@River – I don’t trust them as far as I can throw them!! They’re wild – so while they might look cute when they stick their heads in the car window, they are quite dangerous!!
@PDP – it sure works for me!
@Windsmoke – HHHMMMmmm… the vision of an emu with lung cancer doesn’t quite compute!
@Ann O’Dyne – WOW! I’ve never been on an emu shoot! Actually, never been on an anything shoot … Male & female emus are hard enough to tell apart in real life, let alone the COA drawings! So the answer to #1? Well, is OZ a masterclass in irresponsibility, or a nanny state?? And #2? My psychic powers aren’t quite strong enough to divine the answer!

What fascinating stuff! I never knew any of that before reading your post. I wonder what in their evolutionary past triggered the role reversal. Good to know. Have a great day. Blessings…Mary
