It was relatively ordinary day at Copi Hollow when suddenly Copi was visited by a flock of Emu’s.<\/p>\n
The Emu\u2019s seemed harmless enough, wandering around, checking out the vans, checking out the locals and trying to find where the food was kept. They soon learned that the humans had the food and were happy to be fed by them.<\/p>\n
The Emu\u2019s also because curious about some of the dogs in the park wanting to check them out and maybe even have a little taste of them but a vigilant owner (Sue Liddell) decided that their dog wouldn\u2019t become Emu lunch.<\/p>\n
The kids thought it was quite exciting, coming out to feed the Emu\u2019s, watch them and even started to play \u201cchasey\u201d with them. Of course at first the children were on the chase but it didn\u2019t take long for the Emu\u2019s to decide that the game plan needed to change and the chasers become the chased.<\/p>\n
At first this seemed harmless enough but it wasn\u2019t long before the game got a little serious. Poor little Liam Baker bears the scar from being caught by one of the Emu\u2019s and receiving a nip from its beak.<\/p>\n
Poor little Liam was very brave and as young boys do they go to their mothers for comfort. Liam\u2019s mum Kym Baker was in no state to comfort Liam due to the fits of laughter that she just couldn\u2019t control. In the end Liam dealt with the bite with a small \u201coww\u201d.<\/p>\n
The people from the Scout Camp, Kye and Gill had came looking for some of their missing pets and you guessed it, it was the friendly or from Liam’s point of view rather unfriendly Emu\u2019s who had made a visit. Kye and Gill had acquired the Emu\u2019s as part of their work with the RRANA (Rescue and Rehabilitation of Australian Native Animals).<\/p>\n
Gill suggested that when the Emu\u2019s visit Copi it\u2019s not a good idea to feed them as they will come to expect it. I don\u2019t think Liam will be feeding the natives again for a while. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
