Info from Licensor: "My husband Michael and I went to Wildlife HQ on the Sunshine Coast. Weirdly enough I wanted to connect with an emu. That's why we were there. I love emu, they make me laugh, and they are such curious birds. What I didn't expect when we got to the enclosure was a very interesting experience. I have never seen an emu give someone a hug. It was very intimidating at first because I thought he may peck me in the face. Their beaks are scary. The emu kept following us even after the video." Credit: TT/@iamracheldunn
