On my family’s farm out in the wheatbelt there are these 3 long star pickets in a triangle formation in a paddock. I asked my grandad what that’s about. He said they used to wrap them in wire and chase the emus in there and shoot them with shotguns to cull them.
I mean, their ancestor did ruled the world million years ago. Don’t underestimate a bird.
Which ancestor? When I think million years ago (Pleistocene ice age), I think of mammalian megafauna like mammoths and giant bison.
Idk, bad at numbers, dinosaurs
It’s okay, I’m bad at Lemmy, I tried to edit my response because I misspelled Pleistocene and accidentally deleted it lol
But yeah I agree, big birds are genuinely terrifying
Big bird has never heard such bullshit.
His eyes also face forward, like a predator.
I bet they’re just glad there hasn’t been a cassowary uprising… yet.
Rightfully so.
In order to annex Australia Trump will be sending in “Emu Team 6”.
