What do EMUS think of SNOW?

[@blunttime420]

I love the when the emus jump lol they are such weird creatures.

[@whitehouseonthehill]

blunttime420 - they are bizarre!

[@1550arenteria]

I wish every child and animal in the world could grow up in a loving and stimulating environment like yours. Y'all are such a blessing.

[@antoniodamobsta]

I always laugh when they tilt their heads way back and freak out and jump around, so goofy lol!

[@clarehagley2165]

I’m from Perth Western Australia and we definitely don’t get snow and our Emus are use to hot weather. It’s quite strange for me to see emus running around in the snow. Plus I’m jealous as it very hot at the moment and to have a play in the snow would be a nice change. 40-45 degrees Celsius.

[@clarehagley2165]

You have Emus so you need Black swans to keep the Australian theme. We have the all round the Swan River in Perth WA.

[@adrianortega1431]

Oh, yeah, since you live in the south it's summer now, isn't it?

[@dawnreyestakaki257]

Bamboo seem like he’s a little more attached to the family than the other two. He’s one of the boys. 💛🌟🙏🏼

[@Nirrrina]

From what I remember they said emus should be raised in at least pairs. But only Bamboo hatched in his set. So he had to wait a couple of months for the twins to hatch. He had a long time where it was only him & the humans. I think as a result he's bonded closer to them. The boys especially were like his hatchmates in how they played by running around the front yard.

[@lucasramey6427]

@@Nirrrina that's adorable

[@Nirrrina]

@@lucasramey6427 It very much was adorable. I loved watching them grow up together. Hopefully it will lead to Bamboo also being a much friendlier emu than some. They can be fairly dangerous I some circumstances. Those feet/talons are not just for show. They can be a defensive weapon too. But I think bamboo really cares for them. Look up their old videos if you haven't seen it already & again if you have. I lived when they took bamboo on a leash to a local parade.

[@pavlova7408]

Yes same. But every time I see those emus running I think of the croods running away from that massive prehistoric bird

[@bgishy]

The emus need some snow boots 😂

[@DarkAngel-bg4bz]

I'm honestly surprised they're doing so well since emus mainly come from a much warmer climate

[@ithulah]

THERE IS SNOW IN AUSTRALIA! In the part of Australia I live in we get significant snow in winter on the mountains around us especially a couple of hours to the south. This is our Alpine area, is snowy for months. Wild emus survive fine even in the pretty snowy country, but they don't go much beyond the tree line as in deep wet snow they can get stuck easily with those two kinda crazy legs. If those emus have some alpine genetics, they'll be fine. If they are desert or tropical emus they may struggle. I've never been a fan of emus, but I've only ever known the real wild type. They are amazingly bold, will peck at you with bruising force, stalk you and steal your food. Your eyesight is at risk around wild emus! Obviously they are more friendly when raised right from the egg, but do try to teach those three that pecking is not acceptable! I'm nervous for the kids once the emus are fully grown.

[@willgaukler8979]

Alyssa H ..agree I worry the birds may not realize and hurt someone real fast real bad...but then I 100% trust their mother and father...

[@norlasuk6717]

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Danzel - yep, plans in the works

[@antoniodamobsta]

@The White House On The Hill, yeah another youtuber bought a little heater for his little duck water pond and it didn’t get too hot to the point where if the ducks touched it they would get burnt, it stayed warm so that it would keep the water warm in the winter, but not burn them directly.

[@puirYorick]

She looks knock-kneed not bow legged. I honestly never even noticed until you mentioned because their emu movements are all so goofy to me in general. I think you guys will find yourselves needing to bring in a lot more straw and bedding for the first winter. Ducks and "tidy" just don't go together. Merry Christmas. Good luck with the swans.

[@CopperValentine]

Since she's not in perfect condition, that probably means she should be taken out of the breeding pool. That should be the one they sell and the one in good condition should be Bamboo's mate.

[@puirYorick]

@@CopperValentine It might be a consideration. I don't know enough about emu or ratite skeleton development or their genomic factors to determine that one. I have seen cases in some species where a baby develops too fast or too slow or for too long and ended up with non-genetic skeletal growth early on then grew into their own later. Some poultry that don't have a proper surface to walk on in their first weeks after hatching may develop gangly or splayed legs because the floor was too slippery. Nothing to do with genes in that case. Ratites may be different like I said.

[@Matty.Disson]

puirYorick not enough calcification obviously! They don’t look like that in my country Australia but I think he knows he just isn’t saying anything because it’s to late to fix it now

[@puirYorick]

@@Matty.Disson Dietary history makes sense too. It's still not a genetic factor that should factor into any breeding decisions.

Aloha from sunny warm Kauai! Two thoughts, first, if you want to keep the coyotes out, how about an electrified fence around the whole property, that way the flock can have more room. Second, I work at a cabinet shop that makes a lot of sawdust/wood shavings, we bag it and sell it to farmers, ranchers. If you have a need for bedding, that is a great source if there is a cabinet shop close to you.

You spoke of the Coyotes... I found this and thought of you: Don’t feed coyotes and make sure you prevent any access to food. Don’t leave pet food outside and secure all trash. Try to keep small mammals (like squirrels) from eating around bird feeders. Their presence can attract coyotes. Clean grills and put them away when not in use. Dispose of any dead animals such as roadkill. Don’t let your pets go outdoors alone and bring them in at night. If you need to keep your pets outside, put in fencing and motion sensor lights to keep predators away. Keep any outdoor animals (chickens, goats, etc.) in enclosures or secure areas. If you see coyotes nearby, haze them. That means scaring them with loud noises, waving your arms, throwing objects towards them (not at them), and/or spraying a hose.
