About These Birds
Emu
The emu is the second-tallest living bird and the largest bird native to Australia. It is the only bird with calf muscles, enabling powerful running at up to 50 km/h. In the famous Emu War of 1932, the Australian military was deployed against crop-raiding emus — and the emus arguably won.
Japanese White-eye
O olho-branco-japonês é uma pequena ave verde-oliva com anel ocular branco característico, muito popular como canário de gaiola no Japão e amplamente distribuído na Ásia.
