'Emu' (when it refers to the bird) is a common noun and therefore should not be capitalized either in the singular or the plural, except, of course as the first word in a sentence.
If 'Emu' is used as an epithet for 'an Australian' (or a particular kind of Australian or as the name of a particular group or team associated with Australia), it becomes a proper noun and so should be capitalized.
Examples:
"The Emus scored a significant victory over the Wallabies"
"Rod Hull and Emu were a popular comedy act in Britain in the '70s"
"The emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) is the largest bird native to Australia" (Wikipedia is wrong in the way that it capitalizes the word!)

How do you write Greg in cursive?
First, you start at the top of the page. Then, make a curve so it looks like a capital C. Then, make a small line upward, about halfway up to the top of the letter where you started. Then, you make a small, horizontal line to the left, but halfway into the letter, as not to draw the line through or all the way to the most western part of your letter. That is how to write a capital G.
