    I've been a fan of Useless Farm forever, and Stanley 'happy dancing' is the single most glorious sight I have ever known.
    Never has an animal demonstrated such carefree joy as Stanley does, as he awkwardly leaps and kicks and flops around.
    It's truly a thing of unrestrained beauty.
    EDIT: To be fair, I have never seen Karen happy dance. I'm not sure if she's capable of being that happy, since her normal state is one of murderous rage...

      I'm Australian... and that happy dance is the male mating dance....the female doesn't do it. If she likes his dance she will allow him to be her boyfriend until the eggs are fertilized and laid, then she will abandon them with their father and go looking for another male. Some of the trouble Amanda is having with Karen comes from the fact that female emus are solitary, nomatic and see other females as competition and they will fight each other for a male, especially if there are only a few males in their territory.

    I've watched Amanda work with Karen for a while now and the change is just incredible. Karen is and always will be wild, as will Stanley, but watching Amanda meet her where she was when she first arrived on the farm, not trying to force her into some preconceived notion or box or idea of what she should be like but simply showering her with love and acceptance while placing boundaries, has worked a genuine miracle in this beautiful bird's quality of life. The first time I saw Karen she was terrifying. She had such a scared, chaotic energy. She doesn't look that way anymore, she looks like she trusts Amanda (most of the time) and that's a wonderful thing to see. 😊

    Amanda, you have restored my faith in humans. I hear everyone calling Karen a Velociraptor. Karen is a beautiful emu that had a hard life before you. Those scars run deep even if you’re human. Your devotion to making her life everything it should have been is nothing less than awe inspiring. You love each and every one of your animals and are giving them an awesome life. They are all lucky to have you and your family to love them.
