AndrewOW Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 He (or she, not sure yet) is absolutely fine, and a strapping bird, sadly it thinks Jane and I are its parents and other emus are to be fought or feared. It will just about sit on command and loves stroking, being picked up, and being hand fed. Sounds fun, but it could be a serious PITA as it gets bigger still. I am about 80% sure I could walk it free around the garden and it wouldn't try and *ugge* off. If that works out OK I'll take it down the pub, where a ban on dogs inside needs an imaginative sidetracking It's in with the kookaburras right now, they used to mob it, now they want a higher perch and life insurance. And you'll then be called Rod Hull! Just don't go fiddling with stuff on your roof, ok?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 At what age can you ride him to work? Would be a bit uncomfortable, but they can start their pulling training with low weights (to protect their developing bones) at about 8 months I think, and I would say from 18 months, maybe 2 years old should be fully ready to pull anything. Here, vid of Mals pulling, one of them pulls over a ton (about 50 seconds in): ZEetbssYA6w So if you've got a light car you could get him to pull you around in it, and if you've got a heavy car; just get another Mal!! Make sure you know the turn commands though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
