Miscellaneous Birds

Emu

Emus are large, flightless birds. The emu is the second-tallest living bird after its ratite relative the ostrich. Emus are native to Australia. EMUs were originally imported to the United States from 1930 to 1950 as exotic zoo stock. In 1960, the EMU was designated Australia's national bird, and an Australian government ban on exporting the EMU has been in effect for over 30 years. The expanding EMU inventory in the United States is domestically bred.
