Emus breed during winter. Their breeding cycle begins as the days start to become shorter - around April in Australia, which is the mid-Autumn. Winter is therefore the time that emus lay their eggs. Australian research has proven that emu breeding season is dependent upon the length of the day. The amount of daylight directly influences the production of reproductive hormones.
