@thetimes: Video captures the moment a man wrestled an escaped emu in Devon before the bird headbutts him and flees back to its enclosure. The bird is thought to have escaped its holding in Salcombe before being tackled to the ground on a nearby road. James Barker, 46, filmed the confrontation between bird and man as he drove along the A381 on September 9. He watched as a man struggled to keep the exotic bird under control while it resisted his grasp. The man could be heard shouting: “Emu down, emu down!” *FOR NEWS PURPOSES* #news #funnyanimals #emu #devon #animals

Ex Aussie zookeeper here, I have been there, they are the most neurotic animals and surprisingly strong for a lot of fluff.

After encountering one through a windscreen in Australia. Don’t mess with emus. They make a mess of your car. Mostly painting it in red and guts 😳

I had 2 emus, they escaped sometimes. They are very strong and you can't get a grip on the bodies, you need to just grab their legs. But be careful too as their claws can disembowel you. And they are even stupider than chickens.
