Emus passing through

- Emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) are the second tallest bird currently living, and as they quietly glide past or stop to boom at the camera, I wonder if this is somewhat similar to what bipedal dinosaurs were like. We believe that this is a breeding pair - breeding occurs in May and June, with females courting the males and often fighting for access to mates. The male does the incubation and may begin to incubate the eggs before the clutch is complete. Once the male starts brooding however, the female usually wanders off, and may mate with other males and lay in multiple nests; so up to half the chicks in a brood may not be fathered by the incubating male. While brooding, the male does not eat, drink, or defecate, and stands only to turn the eggs, which he does about ten times a day. He will lose a third of his weight and will survive on stored body fat and on any morning dew that he can reach from the nest. The eggs hatch after around eight weeks, and the young are nurtured by their fathers. They reach full size after around six months, but can remain as a family unit until the next breeding season.

These emus look like moving straw huts on stilts
Haha, pretty much
Hello BVB, they are other-worldly, aren't they? Imagine a world full of bipedal dinosaurs looking for prey.
I haven't seen an emu in years. I am in awe of those feet. How amazing these animals are we share the planet with. Never ever boring. Thanks for sharing. Always appreciated.
Hello Kim, we never see them either! So elusive, they glide through the bush soundlessly - amazing for such a huge animal. All we ever see are footprints in the sand. Thank you for watching, and for taking the time to share your thoughts. Take care.
So glad to see you had posted! Such beautiful Emu’s 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Hello Summer, thank you for watching, and for your kind words of encouragement. Stay safe.
Looking good and green there.
Hello JE, we've had 140mm of rain over the past month - absolutely marvellous! The understory is lush and diverse, with an encouraging crop of tree seedlings coming through. Thank you for taking time out of your day to share your thoughts.
That is great!
It's wonderful to see them in their natural habitat.
Hello KG, thank you for watching, and for taking time to share your thoughts. Stay safe.
@@GubanaNatureRefuge Thank you for your response and good wishes. I thoroughly enjoy all of your videos and I watch many of them over again. Your cameras catch a different perspective that others don't. Your channel is original and delightful. Thank you for all you do.
Gorgeous and unique animals. Thank you for the upload.
Hello FP, thank you for your support and kind words of encouragement. I hope you are enjoying a marvellous week.
"Just so you know, mate - this is our world. You're just living in it." *walks off casually*
Apologies for taking so long to see the pointless troll. Luckily they are easily fixed; right click, delete and block. Goodbye, Jake Affleck.
Wonderful, I enjoyed this one. A nice long one would be good, big thumbs up.
Hello Deborah, thank you for letting us know - we try to keep things short so that people don't get bored, but perhaps we are misreading what people are looking for. Thank you for the suggestion :)
My favorite part was when the emus passed through.
Hello RA, the camera card had recorded hours of empty track and gently waving grass before and after the emus passed through. It was captivating viewing ;) I hope you are having a marvellous weekend.
Looks like a leisurely life!
thats a dinosaur right there
Yes! I agree - it's so easy to imagine them as bipedal dinosaurs hunting. Thank you for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts. Take care.
nice birb
Hello HcDSH, they are pretty amazing - the little vestigial wings hanging down always make me smile. thank you for watching, and for taking the time to comment.
This is for them damn computers
Hello JB, thank you for feeding the algorithm. Appreciated :)
@@GubanaNatureRefuge thanks for the video's ... Hello from Tampa Florida
me in the emu war when the trees are talking homo-sapient
I’d be terrified to see one of those dinos in the wild
Hello MM, generally you won't - the local emu are ninja and melt into the bush before you see them. Tame emu on the other hand are indeed freaky and terrifying - I avoid them at wildlife parks and zoos. Bizarrely, in 1932 Australia declared war on emu..... and lost. Look it up - it's a sad and embarrassing chapter in the ongoing mismanagement of Australian wildlife.
@@GubanaNatureRefuge I never knew how much I needed this fact in my life. Looked it up and one of the first things I saw was “Outcome: Failure.” And then I saw dead emus, I’m glad their war didn’t end with the same outcome as dodo birds
I cant believe that a nation lost a war to this thing.
