Do emu's make good pets?
>>
>>5135552
That is a solid Yes.
-Doesn't eat that much food and doesn't need a ton of space (a large backyard is good enough)
-Females lay lots of HUGE eggs equivalent to about a dozen chicken eggs each during the winter
-Generally friendly and virtually harmless even if they tried to attack someone (there has never been a recorded death from an emu attack)
-Big bird. Big enough that you don't have to worry about predators that much, and it will probably survive even if your neighbor's idiot dog breaks into the yard.
-They're quieter than chickens/roosters and just make deep "thump" vocalizations.
Downsides:
-Their poop is gross. You probably want to rake it moderately often.

Some do.
Some are cuddly and just want to be your companion others are aloof and evasive. The extra friendly ones are about 1 in 4 or 5 from my estimation.

I fucking love emus. There were two of them at a holiday farm my grandad used to run that I'd always go up to and put my arm around and talk to them (one them anyway, the other was always a bit timid). I was little at the time so the emu was bigger than me, but I never felt scared of them. I'd love to get one as a pet, but the yard just isn't big enough.

do they make good partners?

Wait this was supposed to be partner in a sexual context wasn't it...
Uh. They sneak up from behind and attempt to hump humans when mating season starts and they also bite at your ears and hair when they do this. Do not recommend.

They're big dumb chickens. The males can be pretty territorial and bitey but harmless towards an adult.

That's contradictory, anon.
Also, are they social birds like chickens? Cause if so, you probably need to keep more than just one for it to be happy.
