1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: This is gam Nation with oh sad news yesterday about

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: the Emmanuel is still alive, but Emmanuel the Emu is struggling.

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: Do you remember we spoke about Emmanuel the Emu. He

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: lives at Knucklebump Farm in South Florida, and his keeper

5
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: she's just fabulous. She's fabulous. Her name is Taylor Blake.

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: And she would set up a camera and she'd try

7
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: and do little videos about all the animals on the farm.

8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: She'd set her phone up and she'd be talking into it,

9
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: and the emu would come up. A Manual would come up,

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: stick his face in the camera, and he was determined

11
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: to attack the camera, and she'd says, don't, don't it

12
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: was it's so charming to watch. This is Emmanuel. Do

13
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: not do it. Manuel, don't do it. Manuel, don't do it.

14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: I'm trying to educate people right now. Okay, can you

15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: just start Manuel every time? Don't do it. Emmanuel, don't

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: do it. Manuel, don't die, Emanuel, don't every day we

17
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: go through this. Gosh, it's never envy Emmanual, you know

18
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: what do it? How did that make you feel? Was

19
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: it everything that you ever wanted and wished for and

20
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: hoped for? In life? Do you feel fulfilled now? I

21
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: like when she uses his full name, Emmanuel Todd Lopez.

22
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: Don't make me say your government name again. You know

23
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: you're in trouble when she has such a bond with

24
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: this bird, and the footage from yesterday from her socials

25
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: is her holding back tears and just nursing and kissing

26
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: this beautiful emu. Because ninety nine percent of all the

27
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: birds on her farm have died, Avion Flew has taken hold.

28
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: She said She's been told that this is because of

29
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: the stagnant water puddles left behind they Hurricanean last month.

30
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: There's this bird on the outbreak and has made the

31
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: virus run rampant, and that's infected some geese. Some geese

32
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: have then come on to the farm and Avion fle

33
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: is spreading everywhere. This isn't the same flu that we

34
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: can get as well, the bird flu. I don't know.

35
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, but she said she's desperate to save

36
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: a manual. There's only a manual. And Emmanuel's best friend

37
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: ron I think, who's Rico the swan? They are stable mates, ah,

38
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 1: But she said she's hand feeding a manual, sleeping less

39
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: than an hour a day. She's providing him with nourishment

40
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: through subcutaneous fluids administered every two hours around the clock.

41
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: Must be so hard, so more than fifty birds have

42
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: been wiped out in three days on her farm, and

43
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: she loves all of them. It's so tricky, so she said.

44
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: The EMU faces along road ahead to recovery. She insists

45
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: that he's been left temporarily unable to walk because of

46
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: what's going on for him. But he's a fighter, So

47
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: we will keep you up to date with what's happening

48
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: with em Manuel a manual. Emmanuel's the female version, will

49
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: keep you up to date with what's happening with a manual.

50
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: But the whole world to see you, and we're rallying

51
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: behind you. A manual
