That's actually their Dad! The male emu makes and guards the nest, hatches the eggs and stays with his chicks until they become independent. The eggs in a nest may even be laid by more than one female, so it can be a mixed parentage family but all with the same father.
Reckon it might be the mum but, either that or Dads out in drag. If you look he / she is wearing heels 🤔 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
ps Good info Grubstake 👍

Anyone who doubts that dinosaurs evolved into birds, only needs to look at the feet of some of them. Emus have a pretty good pair of feet, but the Cassowary has a particularly good set of weapons they get around on.
Heres a pic of the foot of a cassowary - no wonder people have been killed by these buggers. The only big-bird I’ll get close to, is the one on Sesame Street.1A1BFA8C-F483-485C-A06E-50A219A75535.jpeg
 
Sure is a ripper photo, never thought of it as an award winner. I've asked my nephew if he took it, haven't heard back so not sure who did. I'll suggest putting it in a competition 👌definitely worthy of consideration.
I can see 8 kangas

About 6 months ago Kate rescued an injured King Parrot brought it home nurtured it back to health and released it. We've never had King Parrots at our place in the 20 years we've been here. A few months ago a pair turned up out of nowhere, since then they visit daily 😊 Today I was able to hand feed this one for the first time 👌

Too much of a coincidence? Your nurtured parrot is repaying kindness for sure.
