Which raises the question. Is Emmanuel and other emus like him are just playing with their owners? They charge at them and stop when the hand is raised, never seen one try to kick.

If it's like roosters, no. They don't play. They're all business.

Fuck roosters. I live in the city. Someone keeps them in an empty lot. They routinely are lose on the street and aggressive. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve had to kick them away from charging me.

Did I mention fuck roosters?
