> Emu on the other hand are small and relatively docile

Emus are so weirdly neurotic and aggressive, I hate being around them. If an Ostrich is even more unpredictable than an Emu it's hard to imagine farming them would even be possible.

I quite like Emu I've not seen them being aggressive towards people. Some of them are just not frightened of people so they'll come towards you, and if they think you have some food... But the ones I've met have been pretty gentle, eat out your hand. Neurotic and unpredictable: I think they're just really stupid.

If I had a bit more land I'd quite like to have some Emu. I like them and my mother is scared of them so I see only positives.
