An unhappy emu was caught following a pack of pesky seagulls through the Australian Outback.
Footage uploaded to Instagram by nature_camping_kids_ on Tuesday shows the giant bird take on the seagulls at a caravan park in Exmouth, Western Australia.
The clip captions: “Who knew Emus hated Seagulls?”
A recalcitrant emu was spotted fighting a group of seagulls in Exmouth, Western Australia. (pictured).
A rooster is seen running around the caravan park, trying to chase down the birds.
As the pack of gulls surrounds the emu, it is in a frenzy and kicks up dirt as it tries to get rid of the pests. This unusual roadside entertainment display will be cherished by many.
Natalie who captured the vision stated that at first she thought the seagulls were only hanging out with the emu.
“Then I noticed him trying snap at the seagulls, so I pulled out my camera and began chasing them. It was very funny.
The clip shows a fiesty side to the generally docile and friendly bird which are often caught in peculiar situations.
An emu narrowly avoided a collision in November as it raced across Victor Harbor’s highway, South Australia.
As the pack of gulls surrounds the emu, it makes a mad dash to get rid of the bugs.
After the vehicle had been travelling fast behind a motorbike, the emu darted from nearby shrubs and missed the car. It was a moment of pure heartbreak.
Meanwhile, an emu named Bert was the centre of a brazen robbery after snatching and eating a woman’s $550 Tiffany & Co. earring when she leant in to snap a selfie.
When Bert took the woman’s sparkly hooped just seconds before she was about to swallow, Sydney Zoo witnessed daylight theft.
Unnamed staff members from the Zoo searched Bert’s urine for the hooper, but were unsuccessful.
The cheeky emu of the zoo left after having to pay Tiffany’s for a new earring.
