Had to share a story with you. I have a friend in Australia. We email back and forth fairly often, for years now. She shared a funny story with me today. It was a good one, as we both could use a good laugh. I thought I would also share with you.
An Australian Outback pub at the Yakara Hotel has banned all Emus from their grounds due to their bad behavior.
Last week, two of the local birds, Carol and Kevin (did not make these names up!), discovered they could climb the front stairs of the Yaraka Hotel. Upon their entry to the pub, they wreaked quite a bit of havoc, from stealing customer’s food.
The Pub owner solved the problem by stringing a rope across the top of the stairs. A sign out front advises customers to replace the rope once they enter because “Emus have been banned from this establishment for bad behavior.”
I could picture in my mind these two Emu’s making themselves at home with the customer’s food in this pub. The birds in my backyard would never do anything like this. 🙂

Ever heard of birds being on such bad behavior?

Yes

Great one to help others smile and start their day out right.
Trying to share the smiles we all need. 🙂
Alfred Hitchcock wrote about birds behaving badly.
Yes he did and what a writer he was!
A very fun story. But I wouldn’t be happy if something like this happened to me.
I would not either, I hope they found food elsewhere.
i can’t type a response I am laughing so hard.
I wonder who else will be banned? Wallabies? Kangaroos? Aussie Football fans?
I thought it was too funny not to share.
There is a bar in Indianapolis we used to go to from time to time. There are two doors. One door says Boilermakers banned. The other door says Hoosiers Banned.
I loved going there. (it has since closed).
That is another cool memory. Too bad it is closed.
it really is, the owner sadly passed away.
Aww, but the poor emus were just hungry. Perhaps people who eat at the pub will take some food out to them. That is such an amusing story.
I hope they found other welcoming places to do.
