[QUOTE="DrDuck, post: 565148, member: 158"] If an emu gets interested in you, put your fingers and thumbs together like a beak, and stick your arm in the air. In emu world, the biggest individual gets to be the boss, so making your self look taller than the emu makes them wary and they keep their distance. Looking at a group of emus at Tidbinbilla once, I told this story to my future wife, and she did not believe me, so I jumped the fence and showed that it worked. Mob of emus get interested and approach (probably hoping for a handout) - stick hand in the air and they keep their distance. Lower hand and they approach again, etc. I must have seen Vincent Serventy do this on his Nature Walkabout show when I was a kid in the '60s, and always remembered it. Incidentally, Harry Butler got his start on TV on that show. [/QUOTE]
