Emu are very large flightless birds native to Australia the Emu is harder to find than Ostrich in the market place. These birds are less than one third the meat of the Ostrich but has had a lot of focus recently because of its oil (Emu Oil) that is said to have curative properties for the skin and muscles.  Emu are between 5 and 6 feet tall, and extremely fast runners.  The fifty or sixty eggs which are laid take 60 days to hatch and are incubated by the male.

The Emu is very similar to the Ostrich in flavor and texture and as with the Ostrich if overcooked will become tough.
