I know I know, I see all these comments on TikTok...
"DidNT yOu LooSE A WaR tO EMuS?"Yes, yes we did. But let me enlighten you on the battle.
When we're talking about the two sides, it's was two soldiers against a fuck off amount of emu's. I'm talking in the thousands in one place.
They did have a machine gun, that only had 10000 rounds of ammunition. And after only 12 birds were killed, the gun jammed and wouldn't work anymore. The birds scattered after this.
The army instigated this war because the large amount of birds were wreaking havoc on the crops of farmers.
It took approximately 10 rounds to take down a single emu.
Two attempts were made to dull the population.
Almost a thousand were killed.
This 'war' lasted from the 2nd of November to the 10th of December 1932 😂😂 that's over a month!
And finally, it is pronounced eem-you, not e-moo!
