An emu comments: We have nothing to do with that side of the family.Six-foot birds are running amok in the Shropshire countryside attacking people. The rheas, which are a relative of the emu, are believed to have escaped from farmland in Ashford Carbonell near Ludlow.
A group of them has set up camp in a field near Richards Castle.

Terrorised by rheas?
I think not.
Richards Castle is an ideal sort of spot for an encampment.
I like the idea of the rheas with their neat bell tents in a horseshoe around the campfire.
If these rheas are really 6 foot in height there must be one of two explanations:
a) they've been genetically-modified
b) they're standing on a box.
Rheas reach 51" in height.
