I remember when my emu named Oliver jumped the fence into the neighbors yard, he was very spooked, and the neighbor freaked out, which totally didn't help. I climbed over the fence and tried to calm Oliver down, while herding him toward a field where he'd be less likely to get hurt. As I'm trying to get the emu out of the neighbor's yard, as she was demanding, she started threating me with a shotgun. I was only 12, and luckily got the emu and myself the heck out of there. Later my Dad and brother were able to catch Oliver and get him safely back home. The neighbor had called the cops, so it made it extra difficult on my Dad. Sometimes people have less sense than critters. On aside note, I used to have a pet iguana named Peekaboo.

[@Ps114REXIVD]

I have neighbors like that! 😁

[@creech444]

I used to have a neighbor that kept an emu in like a 10x20 enclosure. The bird got so crazy and violent, they could no longer feed it or get close to it without it getting aggressive. They tried to sell it, but no one that raised Emu's wanted anything to do with it, or to have it anywhere close to their other Emus, Finally animal services had it put down. It was so sad.

[@Idaho-Cowboy]

@@creech444 That is very sad. That wouldn't be a good situation for an emu, they need space to move around. I used help raise emu chicks as a kid and they were my buddies. I could walk right up to Oliver and give him a hug. How someone handles and treats an animal determines it's level of trust in them, aggressive behavior is often (though, not always) a mirrored response, and is very difficult to work beyond.

[@sy851]

Have you ever considered making a bigger yard and bigger houses for the emus? Your place looks amazing! Wish I can one day do something similar...until then I'll get ideas from your set up

[@BellefromOz]

For people that own emus in Aus (for meat and oil) their fences are at least twice as tall, and they have so much more space to live in. Also, the fences are usually the big metal ones that are welded to the posts. I guess since they're commercial businesses, they know the best way to keep an emu inside a fence?

[@deborahbutler]

My mum's pet emus were the same. Huge space to roam, with high wooden fences. If the fence is low, they will try to scale it. Maybe that's how they hurt their necks, trying to climb the fence in panic. Emu are highly strung.

[@kuceracm]

I know you love all three emus but if Bamboo and Cashew are the mated pair you want to go with, having Peekaboo so close is probably stressing all of them out. Could be why there weren't any eggs their first season too. Adult emus need a LOT of space. Their enclosure was fine two years ago when they were adolescents, but an adult emu needs enough space in their enclosure to be able to get up to full speed with a run. Their current enclosure is adding to their stress levels as it's too small for them to run in now. I'm not trying to be critical. You obviously love your birds and are trying your best with them. But perhaps re-addressing the idea of rehoming Peekaboo and giving Bamboo and Cashew a bigger adult enclosure is the way to go.

[@American-Jello]

I wonder if a predator got into the enclosure. That follows with two emus flipping out at the same time.

[@whitehouseonthehill]

It’s possible

[@Weeks25]

That was my first thought as well

[@nevaeha4048]

Where emus are from (Australia) they have no natural predators because they will fight anything. Although because these have been raised in a domestic setting they probably haven’t learned that from their “parents”

[@Susan-qg9tm]

Emus travel huge distances in the wild, so it's very sad to see them trapped in such a small enclosure. If you're going to keep them you should be providing them with at least a couple of acres and room to actually run, not a tiny pen.

[@amadgirlwithafez]

Agreed. I recall when they first moved here they said this enclosure was temporary... so sad to see they're still being kept in such a small space.

[@deborahbutler]

A small enclosure is ok when they're young but as they mature, they do need space. My parents had emus and one escaped, it was scary, she was found by a farmer who put a rope around her neck and tied her to the barn. But they got her back. It's useful to train them to follow you, then when they get out, they follow you home.

they need bigger runs to lower the stress :/ the emu's at a family theme park i worked at they just kept escaping and hurting themselves every single time in the doing so. only thing that solved it was to put them in bigger paddocks. also they switch out for chain link fencing (anti deer fencing) because you can hook it to ticker more robust poles, it's also harder for them to kick it free and escape. hope this helps

When you can, they need a bigger area. Don't treat them like birds, treat them like larger animals such as horses and cows. They need a pasture, and they will be able to be together that way because more space will cause less fighting. I'd recommend 3 acres.

[@aimeemoore3448]

You guys care so much for them! Way to go.

[@flamboyantpotato4004]

You guys might as well just sell the Emu you don't plan to breed because she's just going to constantly fight and taunt the other female you have. Not to mention that both females will be constantly stressed out due to being so close together and competing due to a male being present. Another good reason why one of the females must go is due to space. Bamboo and the other female emu will get to have their full pen to run in once more and will have further enrichment and whatnot.

[@lily_white]

Emus are smart enough that you can work on target training, so it will be easier to get them where you want them to go if this ever happens again

[@Kimichitsuzuku]

You might want to reach out to someone with more Emus or more experience with them. I know Foxfeather Zenkova (yes, that's really her name) of Foxloft Studios Farm has at least a half-dozen Emus and has had several successful breeding pairs.

Perhaps you could plant a couple of eucalyptus trees as shade for the emus? They are evergreen and fast growing. Snow gums are great in areas that get snow.
