Pan across emus behind fence STORYLINE: Two emus held up traffic in western Sydney on Monday. The two animals, which are the largest birds native to Australia, crossed a number of busy streets after reportedly escaping from an area being developed for housing. "These emus they don't look right, they don't look left, they don't look right again, they'll just cross a road," Geoff Brown from Western Sydney Conservation Alliance said. During their walkabout, the emus also came across a group of fascinated school children. "The emus are very snappy you've got to be really careful with the kids fingers but you don't see them out the front of your house though," one mother said. It was believed the emus escaped from an area being developed by property development company Lend Lease. According to conservationist Geoff Brown, the fences surrounding the site have deteriorated which may have allowed the big birds to escape. "If you have a look at their fences they (Lend Lease) don't maintain their fences. They get out and wander the streets," Brown said. One resident of western Sydney took it upon himself to get the emus back behind the fences, by enticing the pair with some food. The man also repaired a hole in a fence, to ensure the birds did not escape again.
