20.01.2022 That's an unusual farmhand! Leggs the emu wandered onto this farm in Tempy, Victoria, from a nearby flora and fauna reserve. He quickly made himself at home, ...and comes and goes as he pleases. He helps the dogs round up the sheep and even helps feed the orphan lambs (although as you can see in this pic, he's not always that helpful!) His adopted farm family say he's not above mischief, like trying to steal spanners. : North-West Express via ABC Wimmera
