What kind of fences are needed for emu?
They do require very sturdy 6 foot tall fences to hold them in extreme cases. You will find some folks that manage with four or five foot fences, but, these birds can easily jump a four foot fence, and they can scale a five foot fence if they desire to leave the fenced area. They typically weigh on the order of 90-130 pounds and playfully run at speeds of close to 35 mph, hence the fences must be sturdy enough to withstand animals running into it at those speeds and weights.
