I realise that, at best, these will would be considered escapees.. However I'm recording them because I found it an interesting situation. The Emu's were dispered over a stretch of 2.5 km. They were in multiple, very large fields. There are also large adjoining areas of bushland. The fencing along the roadside was totally inadequate for emus (around a metre high) . This begs the question, are they already escapees. If ever there was an opportunity for emus to escape and breed up, this would be it. So, if they are not escapees they soon will be. Edit: From a post on iNaturalist: "Have been asking around, and apparently they were part of an emu farm, but were released maybe 20 years ago when the market went bust. So they are probably now "feral."
