This 20 minute tour explains the origin and evolution of this pre-historic bird. I'll tell you a bit about their life in the Australian Outback and how they have adapted to New England winters. You'll then hear about egg laying, incubation, hatching and have the opportunity to view emu of various ages on the farm. The tours wraps up with information about the emu as an alternative livestock on American farms and ranches, and the wonderful products derived from the birds. Chicks hatch in April and May.
