Much to MY horses dismay, an emu has arrived next door-my neighbor found him in her yard and has sort of contained him in a pasture…
If he can climb under a BreezyGate or go over a normal size pasture fence then I will own 2 Sons of Seabiscuit! 
As he will be on my fenceline and I am not sure if the 2 TBs can mentally go with the flow on that one 
.
SO…if you are missing an EMU please email or PT me—would like to get him back to his home.
Thanks
LMH, I dont know any cowboys…but know of a few guys who would help out. If nothing else…it would make for some great entertainment!
So if I am playing games with my horses are we playing in an Emusement Park??? 
We called the GA Emu Association, and they weren’t interested.
Here are the pics again for those who can’t see them:

LMH!!!
Good lord woman! Glad to hear Emusement has been sent on his way…
In all seriousness, though, you NEED your own reality t.v. show. They don’t write fiction this good! “Down on the Farm”? (and no, that was NOT a dirty reference to your dear boys…)

DMK-said EMU is on the fancy farm to my right…though he is not yet an arena OR round pen EMU…he movement was a bit jiggy for WP…but he did show us a nice neck extension-though I am unsure if it correlated with relaxation!
You know Felix came to me (my mini donk) and he was FOUND in a friend’s yard…now a found EMU…can’t someone just find a kitten for heaven’s sake. 
No fair trying to pass an ostrich off as an emu just to keep the thread alive! LOL 
Felix
see here is the catch…this Emu did actually live at a farm with horses—so he stays in the high field until he sees my horses…then comes down to be with them! LOL. Poor damn bird.
Anyway I used food as a weapon tonight and bribed my horses into the field next to his with hay…it was quite funny watching Julian—take a bite and runaway…take a bite and runaway.
Polo of course decided that fenceline was a DARN good place to be, with or without a damn bird.
Oh well. It’s a cousin then! Still a funny pic.
Did you put an ad in the paper in the lost and found section.
Found-Emu. Call and identify. 555-1111
Caller- Hey I lost an Emu.
You- Can you describe him?
Caller- Well, he’s a REALLY big bird, large wingspan,long neck, doesn’t fly, and has lots of feathers.
of course ol’ fernie managed to forget the part where if said emu isn’t in the mood to be caught, it could just as likely attempt to eviscerate you with one of those feet, but never you mind - I’m suuuure this is one of the friendly ones. Volunteers?

I was wondering what emus eat, and so was going to do a search on Google.
Thought you might all find this highly amusing.

That’s the funnies thing I’ve EVER seen!!! OMG…
Another emu sighting: reported in our local newspaper:
“A bedraggled-looking emu…wanders loose near Martinsville, Ind., yesterday.”
Motor Oil? Won’t that be irritating?
An article in the paper today about the zoo in Bremen, Germany, 3 pairs of homosexual penguins living together as “couples” despite the introduction of 4 new female companions. So your guys are not the only ones in the animal kingdom.
I can’t wait for your next post, you are so entertaining LMH. 
Any Emu updates?
That’s it the Emu is looking for a date and is into interspecies dating…
Please make sure your horses are already hooked up.

Hey, if Katarine and I can get over our donkeys having all out gay donkey sex, you should be fine. Last year when I first got my donk, Kat’s donkey had his way with him all over the pasture. The neighbors were horrified.
Will there be any remuneration due when you remuve the bird and only have remuniscence of this episode?
So how is our boy…any updates?? I’d love to know what emusing antics he’s up to…
Per my post above, if you rope them, the rope goes low, over the shoulder region, and not around the neck. That way the emu wouldn’t be strangled or have its neck broken.
During my involvement in an emu extravaganza (I did say I had more stories 
) the emus were worked with squeeze panels to push them onto a horse trailer. But that only worked because the dozen or so emus were living in a fairly small paddock.
You can try using snow fence (or whatever they call that orange plastic roll fence, the lightweight stuff) with a couple of people holding it to form a moving fence and slowly work the emu into a smaller corral…
Oh, and they can eat regular chicken feed.
