QUEENSLAND'S EMU
is BEAUTIFUL BIRD

The emu is part of the national en-
vironment of Queensland and forms
an attractive note in the landscape
1t is the largest bird of the Australian
bush, and next to the ostrich the larg-
est of existing birds. with the casso-
wary-a native of Queensland-com-
ing next. The emu scrapes a shallow
pit in the ground for its nest and
lays from 9 to 13 eggs. The eggs are
inches in length. These are hatched
by the cock bird, the period of incu-
baton lasting from 20 to so days.
The young at birth are striped longi-
tudinally, with dark markings on a
light ground, They can run with
great speed very shortly after being
Matched. The eggs of the emu are
very rich in flavor and looked upon as
a luxury by station hands when out
in camp to include in the pudding re-
-ceipt, but are too rich to be eaten
alone. The flesh is dark .colored and
oily, and is only eaten by the aborig-
inals, unless circumstances are des-
perate.
