Lonely emu looking for love
Edward just wants a lady emu to share his nest with... But since there aren't any nearby, he's doing his best to convince (human) owner Patrena that he could be the man for her - by attempting to round her up and herd her into his nest every time she goes near him. So far, Patrena remains unseduced - in fact, she's resorted to appealing to Australia by radio, asking if anyone can either provide a wife for Edward, or transport the nearest available female the 800km to her property in Katherine, NT.I think Patrena should just give in to romance, and destiny, and realise just how happy Edward could make her, if she only gave him the chance.
