Ep. 109: The Great Emu War

***We had a little issue with our sound quality on this one. Working to make it better.***

 

We look at what might be one of the silliest stories of man vs bird. This story is a tragic-comedy, for how dumb and silly parts of it are, there was real human suffering.  First we learn about emu's then we go back to 1932 in Western Australia. Due to multiple circumstances emu's invaded the wheat farms. This led the Australian government to get involved. They sent soldiers to the farms to get rid of all the emu's, it didn't go very well for the soldiers. Within a month the Australian government was a laughing stock after unofficially losing a war to the large flightless birds.
