Episode 317: Endearing Emus

We just had so much fun this week covering the world's second largest bird, the Emu. Believe it or not, Australia actually went to war against Emus in 1932....and lost! That was great news for the Emus and today they are a protected species on the Australian continent. There is so much to love and learn about Emus and without doubt a fun species to talk about. Thankfully, Emus are doing well across Australia though they do face some conservation challenges. Another thank you to all our Patreon supporters. We now are hosting monthly Zoom meetings with them, answering questions and getting ideas on which species they want covered. You too can join for one cup of "good" coffee a month. With your pledge you can support your favorite podcast on Patreon and give back to conservation. With the funds we receive each month, we are have been sending money to conservation organizations monthly. We now send a check to every organization we cover, as we feel they all are deserving of our support.
