Do you mean wild emus or pet emus? Encyclopedias list seeds and grass and insects among the foods that wild emus eat. My emus love all sorts of grains and fruit. They'll eat walnuts and grapes and apricots and figs.

There is very little that emus do not eat. They eat all fruits, especially fresh fruits, grains, fresh vegetation and even small mammals and reptiles if they look interesting enough for the emu to peck at.

Emus will not eat older, tougher vegetation and grasses.

Do emus eat eggs?

Plants are one of the things emus eat, but not the only thing. Emus are omnivores, and they will eat anything that is remotely edible, including some things which are not. They are very curious birds that will try almost anything, using their large beaks to peck at and pick up food. Commonly, they eat insects, caterpillars, grubs and other invertebrates; seeds, nuts, flowers, fruits, young leaves and other plant parts; lizards, other small animals and even animal droppings. They do not eat dry grasses or older leaves, even if that's all that is available to them. They are more likely to move on to other food sources.

What are threats to emus?

The greatest threat to emus is Man. Man degrades the environment and causes habitat loss, and introduces non-native animals such as cats, wild dogs and foxes, which attack juvenile emus. Emus can outrun dogs and dingoes, but the young emus are quite defenceless. Young emus are also subject to predation by goannas and eagles, while lizards eat emu eggs.
