    Ain't he cute! I love the eyes and the aspect ratio of body and face. This is no chicken for sure;) Posted 13 years ago

      Definitely not a chicken. The only bird scarier than this that I have seen is the Southern Cassowary:

The Emu

The emu is the largest bird native to Australia and the only extant member of the genus "Dromaius". It is the second-largest extant bird in the world by height, after its ratite relative, the ostrich. There are three subspecies of emus in Australia. The emu is common over most of mainland Australia, although it avoids heavily populated areas, dense forest, and arid areas.
