I like Emu. Sure they could do a lot of damage if they attacked you, but I've not experienced one being aggressive. They're either scared or curious and gentle.

- pvaldes 3y agoI've meet a man that was about to get eviscerated by a free roaming domestic emu. The bird was domesticate, docile, curious about humans, smart and a little uncanny. Some day, his dog started a playful fight with the bird, the game got more serious and the man, worried by the dog, tried to stop it and put himself between dog and emu. The belt received the single hit so instead to have an opened belly, velociraptor style, he just had a leather belt severed in two. In a second. Really lucky man. He got rid of the bird not longer after that. The progressive disappearing of Emus and ostriches after a peak in popularity suggest that other farmers also had the same reveal one by one.
