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?
ReplyDeleteI think not.
Richards Castle is an ideal sort of spot for an encampment.
ReplyDeleteI 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:
ReplyDeletea) they've been genetically-modified
b) they're standing on a box.
Rheas reach 51" in height.
