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, eggs 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.
Emus also swallow quite large stones and charcoal to help them digest their food.
How do you give tablet oral medication to an emu?
1. Pry the beak open and stuff the tablet as far down the throat as you can hold the beak closed until you feel the emu swallow. 2. The advantage of the emu is that it is a very curious bird. Present the oral medication in a format which interests them - such as within other small food treats, or brightly coloured edible items - and it is just as likely to peck the whole lot down in one gulp.

Where do emus and casswaries live?
Emus and cassowaries both live in Australia, while the cassowary is also found on the island of New Guinea.
Emus can be found in a wide range of habitats across the Australian mainland, but not in Tasmania. They are even found on the outskirts of urbanised areas and in country towns. They range from undeveloped coastal areas to the sub-Alpine regions; from the edge of wetlands to agricultural areas. They are most common in New South Wales, in open scrubland and grasslands.
The Southern cassowary lives in the rainforests of coastal northern Queensland, Australia, as well as in tropical rainforests of Papua New Guinea, and the Aru and Seram Islands. It is found in Cape York, in the vine forests of Lockerbie and McHenry Uplands, the vine forests of the McIlwraith and Iron Ranges, and in the Wet Tropics, from Big Tableland, south of Cooktown to Paluma, north of Townsville. The Northern cassowary, also known as the Golden-neck Cassowary, is found in the tropical rainforests of the island of New Guinea.
What are the names of different types of emus?

How do you extract emu oil from an emu?
The oil is taken from the fatty tissue on the top layer of the emu's back. First the fat is separated from the meat, then it's removed from the skin. The fat is then ground and then melted. The processing phase is next, during which the oil is filtered, refined, sterilised and deodorised.
Emus may be pests when they encroach upon some agricultural areas. Generally, most emus are found in areas where there is little human habitation, and they are not pests in these regions.
How did the emu get their long necks?
well they are related to the ostrich so that is pretty simple LOL. Butwhen theywere born they had no necks!
Is emu oil a skin moisturizer?
Yes. Clinical studies undertaken regarding emu oil's skin moisturising properties have suggested that the ratio of C-16 to C-18 unsaturated components of emu oil makes it an effective moisturiser because it can improve the ability of the upper layers of the skin to hold onto water and penetrate the epidermis. It seems to be able to improve the smoothness of rough dry skin.
Probably the same way every other egg hatches.
Emu eggs are incubated and hatched by the male emu. Also, the male may incubate the eggs of several females within the same nest. During the time he sits on the eggs, his metabolic rate slows, he does not eat or drink at all, and he stands just a couple of times each day to roll and turn the eggs. Average incubation of emu eggs takes around 8 weeks.
