I'd imagine they could deliver quite a kick with those clawed feet!

Fortunately they're fairly docile in normal circumstances. Probably different if they feel threatened and they could indeed give a nasty kick then.

These were indeed wild, but I understand that an industry has developed for them in recent years: meat, leather and eggs (the shells are dark green and good for engraving).

You have such interesting animals and plants in Australia. There is an Ostrich farm in Luxembourg and they make good business with the meat. Ostriches look quite similar to Emus.

Thank you, Gerda. Yes, I suspect that emus and ostriches have some common links way back when Africa and Australia were linked in Gondwana (also birds in New Zealand).
