In Australia this week the theft of an adult emu from a wildlife park left only a small pile of feathers & questions about the motive for snatching a flightless & ugly bird that is common & has no cash value.
The thieves are believed to have stolen the bird at night, a theft that involved lifting the 2 metre tall, 35kg bird (known for its speed, powerful legs, clawed feet & extremely bad attitude) over electrified barbed wire mounted above a 2 metre fence, while at the same time eluding a guards & security cameras.
Police think a getaway vehicle was parked about a kilometre away, said Chad Staples, a senior curator at Featherdale Wildlife Park.
“It would have had to be carried the whole way & lifted over the fences twice,” he said.
Chad said he was mystified by the theft, the first of its kind.
“Emus don’t have any monetary value because they are so common,” said Staples.
Must be aliens or KFC……
