They are eating ravenously and drinking their water, so it's time to move up to a bigger ceramic container. While some people will not give their ducks anything but bottled water, I am using plain tap water, since they need to be used to it by the time they are in the pond.
Passionate about all things Australian. Emus are omnivores, and they will eat anything that is remotely edible, including some things which are not. They are very curious birds that will try almost anything, using their large beaks to peck at and pick up food. Commonly, they eat insects, caterpillars, grubs and other invertebrates; seeds, nuts, flowers, fruits, young leaves and other plant parts; lizards, other small animals and even animal droppings. They do not eat dry grasses or older leaves, even if that's all that is available to them. They are more likely to move on to other food sources. Emus also swallow quite large stones and charcoal to help them digest their food.
