 * They are Omnivors their diet consists of Flowers, Grass, Insects, and Seeds.
 * Also they have been called ugly. However they are the national bird of Australia. Emu's legs are long and specifically designed to run very fast. They can run up to 50 Kilometers per hour. One stange fact about Emu's is that after they hatch they stay with their father instead of their mother. This is done because after laying the eggs the female is to tired and weak to take care of her children. Although they can't fly they are known to usually flap their wings to keep cool. They eat the same way smaller birds do by pecking the ground and eating the food it finds. The eggs of an Emu are very big but not as big as an Ostrich. The chicks aren't as colorful though. Emu however are not to greedy and if being fed will understand thet a person will not give them all the food. An Emu makes a strange drumming noise.
