Emus typically stay with their chicks for about six months after they hatch. During this time, the male emu is primarily responsible for caring for the chicks, protecting them from predators and teaching them how to find food. After this period, the chicks become more independent and are able to fend for themselves. However, the bond between the parent and chicks can last longer as they often remain in the same area.
