Walking / Running migrant bird

Would Chisa be talking about the nomadic
habits of Emu's?

I assume she means land migration rather than intercontinental migration?


If its an intercontinental migrant,
such a bird  would have to rivel the Jacana for title of  "Jesus
bird"!

Subject	[BIRDING-AUS] Walking / Running migrant bird

To whom it may concerned,

My name is Chisa Uchida, a media coordinator based in Sydney. I'm currently
undertaking a research for a Japanese TV program which features various
amazing facts collected from around the world.  This program aims
at helping Japanese to have better understanding of other cultures. 
In the course of our research, we heard that there is a type of migrant
bird in Australia which runs (or walks) to migrate, not to flies.  I'm
not sure if that is true or false information, but just wondered if you
have any information about such kind of bird.
I actually inquired Klaus & Brenda
Uhlenhut from Kirrama Wildlife Tours, and they recommended me to write
you.

I'd appreciate if you could give us any information that might help our
research.

Thank you for your help in advance, and I'm looking forward to hearing
from you at your earliest convenience.


Best Regards,
Chisa Uchida
Media Researcher
