Emus are fun, goofy and incredibly curious birds. They are the second largest bird species and originate in Australia. When standing erect with neck outstretched, a emu measures approximately 6 feet tall. Males weigh approximately 120 pounds while the female is actually larger at about 130 pounds.
Emu chicks are very social and need at least one other companion emu. Please plan on buying at least two if you are just getting started.
