Is an emu an herbivore

Answer 1

Emus are not herbivores. They 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.

Answer 2

Yes, emus are herbivores. They primarily feed on plants, fruits, seeds, and insects. They have a diet similar to other large Flightless Birds like ostriches.
