QuoteI am fairly certain the city of Toronto might have something to say about people keeping emus in their back yards. Hell, I don't think they allow a few hens for eggs.


Would anyone notice, though?

Er...keeping a pet emu in an apartment might pose a few problems.



But you'd never be short of an egg.


Haha yea, I'm not too familiar with emus but wouldn't be surprised if the neighbours would find them too noisy in the morning, or leaving a trail of poop in every room they wander into.  But most important I completely forgot they from Australia, land of like the majority of the world's hyperactive and ferocious animals, lol.


Emu's emit a low, droning sound which is not loud or intrusive.



But they are cantankerous critters, and their favourite move is to scrape their rear claw down your leg, thereby inflicting a substantial laceration which will require many sutures.

When an emu kills the neighbor's schitzu with one of their kicks, they just might notice.

First it was koala bears, then the kangaroos and now emus.  Just like why the girls always complain the best looking guys turns out to be gay, guess for me it's the coolest animals aren't so suitable being my best friend.  ac_unsure

I don't think anyone in Australia would consider trying to tame an emu as a pet.



It would be easier to teach a quail to fly.

That's true, but truth to be told quails can fly quite well for their weight except for the button quails, one of mines flew but crashed into my face and hurts a lot more than I expected, lol.

If an emu flew into your face, you'd need an ambulance and probably a plastic surgeon.



On the plus side, you'd be famous!!

The cassowary is a smaller, but still large and aggressive Australian bird.

Cassowaries are evil assholes. They will attack. They have a hatchet blade in their head for that reason, and a switchblade on their feet.



"This assessment of the danger posed by cassowaries has been repeated in print by authors including Gregory S. Paul (1988)[34] and Jared Diamond (1997).[35] A 2003 historical study of 221 cassowary attacks showed that 150 had been against humans. 75% of these had been from cassowaries that had been fed by people. 71% of the time the bird had chased or charged the victim."

No feeding cassowaries if in Australia.

Bricktop

No.



Leave them alone.



They can really mess you up.

I saw a pair of them at a zoo in Israel. The sign said they could be dangerous.

The Calgary zoo used to have cassowaries.

People like them because of the iridescent colouring.
