I would have used a teen magazine with Pete Wentz on the cover from eleven years ago to lure it back

A woman named Mickey had a number of birds including a “free range” emu named Cecil within her fenced in property hidden in a canyon in the middle of Brentwood. Cecil loved - LOVED - eating grapes. I met Cecil a few times. He towered over me and I was pretty terrified.

Considering the life of relative ease awaiting that Emu I think it made the correct choice. Yummy pear then pampering? Yes please.

They should have tried this with our late local emu antihero, Eno. May the gods speed her to her rest.

It’s a fluffy velociraptor.

I always get emus and cassowaries (cassowarys?) confused, which I assume is going to be the death of me one of these days.

The problem lies less with knowing that one of them is deadly; it’s more with remembering which one

If you see a giant bird that looks like a friendly muppet then it’s probably an emu.
If you see a giant bird that looks like a horned dinosaur equipped with six-inch-long razor sharp claws then it’s too late, you’re already dead.

If you want to summon an emu, just give a 5 yr old a sandwich and put them on a picnic blanket.
Pretty soon an emu will be there to steal that sandwich from said child. (Not speaking from childhood trauma… twitch twitch)
