TL;DR

Australia waged actual war against EMUS with machine guns. The birds WON.

Like drop bears, Australians love a good story. Australians also beat rabbits to death with cricket bats in trapping fields but .. we still have rabbits. Arguably, the rabbits won too.

Emu are fine, don't fuck around with Cassowaries.

There's a good tale about Australian forces flight sim which had deadly roos inside.

Google AI summary:

"Cassowaries are widely considered the world's most dangerous birds."

Damn!! Seems Australia is the closest thing to a real-life Jurassic Park we have.
