1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: This is gam nation with well remember well I shouldn't

2
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: say remember, because Emmanuel the EMU is still alive and well,

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: e Manual the EMU has how many I'm just reading

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 1: here two point four million followers on Instagram and Emmanuel's

5
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: not even in a bikini or had teeth whitening. It

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: is incredible. You may remember Emmanual the EMU. He is

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: on a farm in Florida and his his keeper, Taylor Blake,

8
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: has a very close relationship with him, and she tries

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: to do videos about how things on the farm work,

10
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: and a Manuel hilariously keeps trying to peck her phone

11
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: to death. This is Emmanuels. Do not do it, a Manuel,

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: don't do it. Commanual, don't do it. I'm trying to

13
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: educate people right now. Okay, can you just start manual

14
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: every time? Don't do it, Emmanuel, don't do it? Manuel,

15
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: done kettle. Don't use bailers today? Every day we go

16
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: through cash. It's never ending. Emmanual, you know what do it?

17
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: How did that make you feel? Was it everything that

18
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: you ever wanted and wished for and hoped for in life?

19
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: Do you feel fulfilled? Now? Okay? So cute, so cute,

20
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: and so many people have fallen in love with the

21
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: manual the Emuse. Recently we were Emmanuel nearly died. All

22
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: the other birds on her farm I think had to

23
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: be put down because there was an avian flu that

24
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: went through, but a Manuel she hand nursed back to health.

25
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: And it appears that Emmanuel didn't have the flu, but

26
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: was impacted by the stress of all that going on.

27
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: So Emmanuel is doing okay, which is a relief. But

28
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: one of the side things of a manual being so

29
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: famous is that people are buying in America, are buying

30
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: baby EMUs EMUs. Now in Australia, we know that there

31
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: are some animals that should not be kept as domestic pets.

32
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: Kangaroos or EMUs, just don't do it. But there's a

33
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: woman in America in Pennsylvania who makes a living out

34
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: of selling emu chicks across the country and she has said,

35
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: please do your research first. She sells them for about

36
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: two hundred bucks for a standard emu or eight hundred

37
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: and fifty four the rareer white variety. But she's pleading

38
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: with people saying recent viral videos have made people think

39
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: that EMUs are funny and charming and a great fund.

40
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: She said, many folks are getting EMUs on a whim

41
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: and not doing their proper research. Here's what you need

42
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: to know. And emu can live up to forty years

43
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: in captivity. Wow. Yeah, so it's not like you're getting

44
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: a guinea peach. Do they have the same as like

45
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: cats and dogs years? Say forty years? Is that one

46
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 1: hundred years in human life? Well, it's forty human years,

47
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: So think about that when you're buying an emu. And

48
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: they can have as as written here, a mercurial temperament.

49
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: Pains in the ass is what she's saying, especially during

50
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: breeding season. So she said that from the age of

51
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: six months to two years, she's finding so many of

52
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: them are being ReHO at the moment because people are saying, well,

53
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: I don't have a proper fence. It keeps running away.

54
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: They can. Yeah, that's the thing, people, They're not cute

55
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: little backyard pets. They can become imprinted on you as

56
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: a human and that can be charming, but it can

57
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 1: also be really hard work. And sometimes when their hormones

58
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: kick in, then they literally change overnight, leaving the owners

59
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: to say, what happened to my tame? Little sweet Emu.

60
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: It's like having a teenager. Well sucko here it is.

61
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: Most EMUs don't like to be touched on the head

62
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: all cuddled, so a manual likes all that, and everyone

63
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: sees that and thinks, wouldn't that be great? But not

64
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: all of them like they're not all docile and friendly.

65
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: Some are. They're very strong. They can kick and break

66
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: your bones. So if you're thinking of getting a pet Emu, EMU,

67
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: if you're hearing this podcast in America, don't buy an eme.

68
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: You don't give an You don't know what you're doing. Yeah, exactly,

69
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: Remember Marty and Emu. Some man will come along, try

70
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: and put his hand up his bum and make a

71
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: TV career out of it. Then where are you? Where

72
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: are mighty? And ame you
