Bit of a tangent but these really are BIG ass birds.
Was driving down a long two lane highway going a tad fast. See in the distance what looks like someone standing at their mailbox right on the edge of the road. Plenty of time to get the mail and move on. I get closer, not moving. Coming up on it fast and I'm like wtf that's not a person, what is that thing. I rapidly approach and realize it's a damn emu! I veer into the middle of the road a bit and pass, lock eyes with this sob of an emu that doesn't move. Can't imagine hitting one.
The next several miles I'm trying to figure wtf just happened and if that was real lol. Not many emus or exotic animals in my area.
