Description

The Emu for sale is a magnificent, flightless ratite that brings a prehistoric presence to any large property or private preserve. As the national bird of Australia, Emus are famous for their shaggy, dual-toned feathers, deep booming vocalizations, and incredible running speeds of up to 30 mph. At our premier facility, we focus on captive-bred individuals that are accustomed to human presence, ensuring that when you purchase an Emu for sale, you are acquiring a hardy and inquisitive addition to your outdoor collection.

Behavior and Social Temperament

Emus are highly curious and often “docile” compared to their ostrich cousins. They are known for their calm, almost meditative pacing and their tendency to follow keepers out of pure curiosity. A Emu for sale from our professional network is raised to be hardy and adaptable. They are social birds that thrive best in pairs or small groups. Their unique “drumming” sound, produced by a specialized tracheal pouch, is one of the most iconic sounds in the exotic bird world, signaling a healthy and established bird.

Husbandry & Large-Scale Habitat Standards

To maintain a healthy Emu for sale, specialized outdoor infrastructure is required:

• The Running Range: Requires significant space. We recommend a minimum of 1/4 to 1/2 acre of secure, fenced pasture per pair. Fencing should be at least 5 to 6 feet tall and free of gaps.

• Resilient Nutrition: They are omnivorous grazers. Their diet should consist of high-quality ratite pellets, fresh grazing grass, and a rotation of fruits and vegetables. Access to clean water at all times is mandatory for their high metabolic needs.

• Climate Adaptability: Emus are remarkably hardy and can withstand a wide range of temperatures. However, they must have access to a three-sided shelter to protect them from extreme wind, rain, or snow.

Our professional network manages all necessary health certifications and state-to-state transport permits. Every bird is inspected for leg strength and feather quality before being cleared for transit. We utilize specialized livestock trailers designed for ratites to ensure a low-stress journey from our facility to your preserve.
