[31zook]

5mins flat the thing would be eaten....

and i thought they only chased, and beat you up if you were trying to steal there eggs....

[royce]

I can see that working well up there

oh emU chick

[want33s]

Geese are good noisy guards too.

[shep]

the geese would defanatly be eaten by me.

i have been chased by a bladdy emu and trust me, it is a bit scary

oh and royce, what the fuck is that

[v.w.dave]

Peecocks and goats are good. If you can get a male peacock to roost nere your door they will go off if anything bigger then themselfs moves around them. Goats If you keep 1 female with a group of males (3 or 4) the males will rear up and headbut anything that comes into the yard. They do this to show off for the female. They dont make much noise though.

The peacocks will only do this at night. The goats will do it all the time even to you.
When people see emus the want to come have a look. This would bring more people to your place. You would also have to build a 5ft fence to keep the bastards in. Oh and in a small fenced off area they are cunts to look after. hey will kick down just about anything.

Was working on a small engine carby one day and the pet emu chick ate all the little parts Had to lock him in the concrete chook pen for a couple of days to get em all back
They do eat small parts and are very inquisitive

Emus are cool we use to catch baby ones out the back of Jarradale when we couldnt find any pigs They dont taste very nice though

[beef13]

you could get a sheep and an alpaca cos alpacas are used all the time as guards for sheep, theyre awesome
this is a serious suggestion by the way

sheep die from fly strike up here, they cant handle the wet season.

[beef13]

i was going to say that a sheep would be a bad idea because it would eat too much but i guess that a dead sheep is also pretty useless. alpaca's are fairly grumpy when anyone comes near them anyway aren't they?

alpaca's are cool animals & are quite smart, instead of crapping all over the paddock, they will all crap in the same spot making a "toilet" of such so they don't have to eat around their own crap.

not sure how one would go up north, with the tropical climate but their fleece is worth a fair bit compared to wool.

yes they do they spit bile, then the fox or whatever is trying to get the sheep runs away, they can spit a fair way too

[atari4x4]
