00:00The Great Emu War. What if I told you Australia once declared war on giant birds and lost?
00:06It was 1932. Farms ruined. Crops demolished and the enemy. Not men. Not machines.
00:13But over 20,000 rampaging emus fast, furious, and feathered.
00:17The army came with machine guns. Bullets rained. But the emus they dodged.
00:21They scattered. They vanished into the dust like ghosts.
00:24One soldier swore the birds knew their tactics. Farmers watched in horror.
00:29Officials panicked. Commanders cursed a day they ever underestimated birds.
00:33After weeks of battle, Australia surrendered to emus.
00:35No treaty, no peace. Just silence. And feathers drifting in the wind.
00:39And maybe, just maybe those birds are still out there, waiting, watching, plotting their next move.
