What's an emu?
An emu is a flightless bird, found originally in Australia. Wikipedia says it's the 3rd tallest bird in the world, reaching over 6 feet tall in some cases. They can sprint up to 30 MPH. Interestingly, the female emu lays the eggs, but the male emu incubates them. The father also nurtures the babies.

Can you own an emu in New Jersey?
According to the Courier Post, it's legal to own an emu in New Jersey. You don't even need a permit. Before you run down to the local emu store, you probably should check with your local officials to see if emus are OK to own, based on local zoning laws and such. For example, in Egg Harbor Township a few years back, a family ran into trouble because of pigs and chickens on their property. (Check out that story here)
