Living with a 180cm Emu! The Relaxing Mountain Life of "One Person, One Bird" is a Huge Hit

The world is full of unique birds, some are long-lived, some are smart... and of course, some are very large! While the largest bird in the world is the ostrich, which can reach a height of 2.5 meters, there are other birds that are also surprisingly large. For example, the emu, also known as the "Australian ostrich", is the second-largest bird in the world.

What is it like to live with such a large bird?

A former office worker with the Twitter handle "@eli_elilema" legally raises an emu chick, caring for it meticulously from the moment it hatched. After two years, she even published a photo book, which has once again attracted attention online.

Two years ago, she left the company where she had worked since graduation and moved to her favorite mountain area. At the time, she and her friends were discussing how to use the last piece of vacant land, and the final decision was to raise emus.

Raising emus is said to be quite difficult. The egg hatching rate is only 30%, and she spent two months just hatching the egg. If the emu gets sick, it is also difficult to find a veterinarian. Not to mention that emus, like cats, can cry out at night, or step on, kick, and even peck at people.

But of course, to the owner, her own child is the cutest no matter what. The recently published "Living with a Little Emu" is full of heartwarming photos.

The little emu has grown so big!

In addition to publishing the book, the owner also regularly updates the daily life of her little emu, which is quite heartwarming.

• Sleeping together since childhood.

• Posing for beautiful photos.

• Wanting to taste your gloves.

You can see that the owner has a lot of love for her emu! The owner also runs a YouTube channel. Readers who like little emus may wish to follow her!
