Emu
The Emu Dromaius novaehollandiae is also an Australian bird. This one was photographed in the Auckland Zoo. It is the largest bird native to Australia. It is common over most of Australia. Its height is up to seven feet. Its long legs allow then to run at speeds up to 30 mph. They have excellent eyesight and hearing and very strong clawed feet. Their head looks like something straight out of a Disney movie.
