#emus — Public Fediverse posts

🐦🇦🇺 During the Great Depression, the Australian military was deployed to stop 20,000 #emus from destroying wheat crops in Western #Australia. The mission failed as the #birds’ natural speed and group tactics outmaneuvered machine guns and #trucks.

Cat demands silence from human, Totoro pastries now available in Tokyo, police catch wayward emu, and duck loves puppies.

Emus are now local legends at Potato Point, NSW! Originally pets on nearby Horse Island, they swam to the mainland and now roam freely, raising chicks and helping regenerate bushland. Locals love them – it's the coat of arms come to life!

Struggling to believe that emus swim? Here are some emus swimming in the Murray

Dumb birds no more: #Emus and #rheas are technical innovators, say researchers https://phys.org/news/2025-02-dumb-birds-emus-rheas-technical.html paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-88217-8

"palaeognath innovation is not as complex as in #crows and #parrots. However, it is still a very important finding... There were no reports of technical innovation in #palaeognaths before this study, and there was a prevailing view that they are dumb birds... that is not true. Technical innovation may have evolved far earlier in #birds than previously thought"

Do you like animals? Morning at the perthzoo. I only had one free morning in Perth, so I went to the Zoo since my youngest LOVES animals and wants me to send back as many pics as I can take. A kind docent named Rose took me on the Aussie Bush Walk & dropped copious knowledge. Big fun & big learning. #Quokkas #Kangaroos #Wallabies #Numbats #Cassowary #Emus #Koalas #Perth #Travel #Australia #Zoo #Animals https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLk1xUpo/

Lionel the Lion and Gavin Bear have set off from Perth to search for Lionel's fore-bears (or fore-lions.) From Perth to Geraldton to Kalbarri to Shark Bay to Carnarvon to Coral Bay. After 1500km they come to a little town facing the Ningaloo Marine Reserve.

The hidden rule for flight feathers and how it could reveal which #dinosaurs could fly
https://phys.org/news/2024-02-hidden-flight-feathers-reveal-dinosaurs.html

Functional constraints on the number and shape of flight feathers https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2306639121

"in addition to asymmetrical feathers, all the flighted #birds had between nine and 11 primary #feathers. In #FlightlessBirds, the number varies widely— #penguins have more than 40, while #emus have none. It's a deceptively simple rule that's seemingly gone unnoticed by #scientists."

It has been observed that when they migrate, emus are chasing rainfall. They’ll follow rain clouds or the smell of wet ground, and also listen for thunder.

Ten things you might not know about emus:

Still unsure as to how or why there'd be an emu in a dungeon, but they're in so many dungeons, there has to be something to it

it's where you get to meet #Emus :blobcat_0w0: #walkingisgoodforyou

I didn't get much done today, but I did see an emu.

Meant to post this before - #Emus taking a stroll on our road before they were rounded up by the sheriff and returned to their owner. Photo taken by a neighbor.

Landholders and residents were licensed to shoot 1.9 million #kangaroos and cull or remove more than 200,000 other native animals - including #emus, #kookaburras and rainbow lorikeets - over five years in #NSW.

Ok. While I'm shitting on these modern high-comfort electrically powered mass transport #EMUs I must admit they are in fact great (but sooo ugly).

So to compensate: here's a photo of an old diesel locomotive standing in the yard of Malmø central station. It's a 60 (?) yr old #NOHAB in the colors of the #Dutch flag.

Apologies if you're not into #trains :-)
