Fun Emu Facts

• The Emu can be found only in Australia and is unofficial; it’s the national bird.
• Although they are endemic to Australia, their name, ‘Emu’, is most probably of Arabic origin.
• Emus are the second largest birds in the world after the ostrich.
• Emus can live up to twenty years in the wild and forty years in captivity.
• Emus have two sets of eyelids. One set to blink with and one to keep dust out.
• Emus can grow up to two meters tall. That’s as tall as a door!
• Emus are omnivores. They eat grass and bugs, like grasshoppers.
• Emus can go two whole months without food.
• Emus swallow small stones to help crush and digest the food in their stomachs (gizzards).
• In 1932, the Great Emu war took place in Western Australia. It was an attempt by the Australian government’s military to contain the growing population of emus. The Emus won!
• An emu egg is the equivalent of 12 chicken eggs!! Ouch!

• The male emus are in charge of making the nest, as well as incubating the eggs for eight whole weeks.
• While the male Emu incubates the eggs, he does not eat, drink or relieve himself. Talk about commitment!
