Sounds like Bamboo has come into his own and he's on a different mating season than the others. Possibly too many males on the farm as well

Bamboo has just became the dominant male

[@sarahmacalfiesmom6030]

Hopefully this means he’ll finally become a dad!

He reminds me of the emu named Karen from the channel called the useless farm I think. Karen is always trying to hurt her owner.

I find hand raised roosters that are super friendly when younger will sometimes turn out extra agressive once they mature, because they lack any fear and then the horomones make them bold. Its sad but i never over coddle the roos. Could be similar with emu, who knows

[@Clouds519]

YESSSSS ELI!!!! He is a TOUGH kid. It’s been so cool to see his strength grow as he’s grown.

He is in heat.. wants to mate.. It's a common behavior when animals treat human like his mate..

[@stinkyrats]

He is also only just an animal so times it happens when natural instincts take over, it's a but sad but it is nature.

[@paullevai9773]

He is an Australian wild bird not a big chicken. They are dangerous and aggressive. There is nothing wrong with that behaviour, the person keeping them captive and breeding more captives to torture us what's wrong

[@merewolf235]

Plus he is a WILD ANIMAL

[@maryjoiner8747]

I don't know anything about emus but I do raise chickens and occasionally have issues with rooster trying to establish dominance. This MAY sound absolutely crazy?....but the best way I have found to deal with challenging roosters is to hold them down on the ground until they relax and then remain laying on the ground (showing submission) So I don't even know if you can hold him down on the ground but maybe?

[@nicocorbo4961]

I agree that or for smaller birds hand feeding and holding for prolonged periods of time, emus however I’m not sure

I worked at a large ostrich ranch many years ago. My favorite area by far was the nursery. But there came THAT day in every feathered little friend’s journey … when even the sweetest ones SWITCHED IT UP😜 It is definitely a thang with ‘big bird’ 🤦🏼‍♀️😆 You can see it in the head tilt when it’s time to run!!!🤣 You should’ve seen me and the kids tryna collect the eggs from the nests of the established breeding pairs. Woah Nelly!!! It was surprisingly fun yet seriously dangerous! We had long neck poles which were at times useless but also probs saved many a life I’m sure. We had to stall out our pairs … cuz once they get to a certain age, size, attitude or select a mate etc. it’s over for the shared corral! Be safe and don’t get discouraged … hormones are tricky for all God’s creatures 😂🤪

[@zebraloverbridget]

It sounds like he got frustrated (re-productively) since once he was mature he had no interest in the females. The it just built up until he got to where he is now. Hopefully he will be chill again after a breeding season if you can safely keep a female with him during it. Otherwise, it might get worse This issue can happen to other birds as well as just other animals. I know for smaller pet birds there is a ton of info on where not to touch your bird to avoid causing the same issue and what not to put in their cage or to not give them access to in order to prevent it from happening.

[@ellenamy9617]

That’s a good theory. I’ve read about that in parrots.

[@ellenamy9617]

@@tayriggles​​⁠I had to rehome two sebright bantam crosses as a child because I hand reared them and they’d fly down across the garden onto your head or shoulder 😅 it’s cute until it’s dangerous. They weren’t aggressive just needed to be in a bigger flock, mine ostracised them.

[@Snartfoodler]

@@tayriggles it also makes them uninterested in females, which makes for a very unfriendly bird.

[@zebraloverbridget]

@@ellenamy9617 Parrots are one of the most well known ones to do it but other birds can have it happen too. It sucks that there isn't as much pet based info on emus out there like there are for the smaller birds because if there was then the mistake would have been easy to avoid. I don't blame them though because how would they know that could cause an issue when they've never had a traditional pet bird . (I know they see some of their birds as pets but they're not ones where this can be an issue afaik. )

[@northstarastrologytarottalks]

[@paullevai9773]

You are wrong. He has no idea about Emu and they do not have enough space! They are wild Australian birds that are used to roaming 1000s of kilometres and living in large groups. They are not big chickens that make good pets. He is killing them

[@greenwayacres1990]

Really want to suggest using an old sock with the toe cut off to use to blindfold them for moving. You have less chance of losing the blindfold like you would the pillow case. Just slip it over your wrist like a braclet, grab beak, and then slide it right down your wrist and hand to over their head and eyes. This enables you to have both hands for guiding them along.

Follow: Useless Farm out of Canada. Basically this farm takes in animals others can’t handle /don’t want (that is my understanding) She has Emu’s. Her emu Karen is a beast. She always attacks. Watch the owners body language with Karen as she protects herself from many daily attacks. It’s all good though. Karen will have a happy home for life……whether she appreciates it or not. You will appreciate it.

[@theadventuresofsandyland4961]

I think Elmo would be a cool name for your new Emu, Sesame Street theme to follow Bert and Ernie 😂

[@blujen1642]

Zazu is a cool name, rolls off the tongue and fits the Naming Theme. Sure looks like Bamboo was Dominance Challenging. He would see you/yours as the Alphas because of living in the home with you. I noticed he wasn't still coming after you in the bigger pasture, they were all very busy figuring out Pecking Order. Kinda need some body armour on your legs knowing Bamboo was so aggresive, those claws could tear an artery easily. Personally, I wouldn't be turning my back on them as a Best Practice. Too easy to be Blindsided

[@angelacooperrider1990]

The first name that pops into my head is big bird lol keeps kind-of with the emu thing because they are big birds and with sesame street 😂😂😂

[@CluckCluckChickens]

I think Emmy would be a good name

[@jillianstolling2602]

As far as names go Kazoo or Zazu would be my top two suggestions if you are going with a theme but I did like Elmo if I'm being truthful. On a different topic, watching your videos, since before Bamboo hatched and his journey since, I think he may have figured out what he was supposed to do with females. I suspect he might also be the father of the one dark emu chick you hatched last year. Knowing color genetics for birds reasonably well, the natural color of a wild bird will be dominate, the others are recessive, so most, if not all of Bamboo's chicks would be dark, unless he carries a recessive gene. The other males should not produce dark chicks but I could be wrong as I have never looked into color dominance in emus before. His aggression might be related to breeding season as he seems to have calmed slightly, towards you guys at least, by the end of the video. He may have been acting aggressive because he was trying to "protect" the younger emu, as males do the raising in the wild. But my strongest feeing is this was breeding related aggression. He is either flustered from not breeding or just wanted to be near his mate and to some extent, knows you control that. Hope he calms down and there are more baby emus in the future. Thanks for the video, lovely as always.

[@tracybruring7560]

this happened to us. we accidentally fixed the problem. my husband carried in a 2x4 and hit him with it when he attacked. the board was white on one side. from that point if you carried a white stick in he would stay on the back of the field. he can gut you with those feet

[@whitehouseonthehill]

We do use protection around roosters that attack. So far, Bamboo’s aggression has been sporadic, and in the large pasture he has not been aggressive towards us.
