The EMU is, without a doubt, Australia?s ugliest bird ... very much the
ugly sister of the CASSOWARY and OSTRICH.
It?s bald, drab-coloured and stupid. If you read the latest issue of
Wingspan, you?ll learn that it has one of the smallest bird brains relative
to body size. This explains a lot about its behaviour!
