Emus

Experienced Care for Emus in Greenacres

Emus are large, flightless, intelligent birds requiring knowledgeable and experienced care. Whether your emu is a part of the family or part of your livestock program, our veterinary professionals at The Bird and Exotic Hospital are here to support you in providing a healthy and high-quality life for your large bird.

Unique Care Requirements of Emus

Large birds require special care and dedication to live long and happy lives. Emus are no exception. Given their size and inquisitive nature, emus require large pens enclosed by six-foot-tall fencing and free from dangerous or toxic objects. 

Providing your emu with adequate shade is essential using trees, shelters, or shade cloths. Keep your emu’s pen clean and raked daily to ensure proper hygiene and optimize your large bird’s health.

Emu Common Medical Problems

Emus are curious birds and thoroughly inspect their pens for objects they can play with or eat. Ingesting foreign materials can lead to injuries to an emu’s intestinal tract, obstructions in the GI tract, and toxicity. Treatment of these conditions can range from endoscopy to surgical intervention. Our large bird veterinary team is here to efficiently and professionally handle all your emu’s medical needs.

A Balanced Diet for Your Emu

An appropriately balanced diet is vital to your emu’s overall health and longevity. An emu’s diet will depend on age and health status, but generally, their nutrition consists of a commercial diet and finely chopped greens.

Emus love water and enjoy standing under misting systems during a hot summer day. Always provide your emu with free access to clean water to ensure adequate hydration.
