Emu bird left without pants of British farmer

A British farmer was left without pants after trying to catch an escaped emu. The incident occurred on a road in the city of Salcombe, writes The Telegraph.

The man tried to return to the pen a large bird named Side Neck. There was a short fight between them about 20 seconds long. Emu actively resisted, and then struck the owner with his feet. The farmer fell on the road, losing some of his clothes, after which the bird turned around and independently headed back to the farm. The alpaca watched what was happening from behind the gate.

The video's author James Barker said he stopped to help the man but quickly pulled out the phone. According to him, the situation looked so strange that no one would believe him without the video.

Emu owner Mark Harrington noted that this is not the first time Side Neck has escaped from the pen. The name of the pet is associated with the characteristic movement of the head from side to side during running. After the scuffle, the man closed the gate and the incident was exhausted.

Harrington explained that the farm now contains two emus, and he plans to acquire several more birds. According to him, they do not require complex care and help protect chickens and ducks from foxes.
