Predators. Dingoes and Wedge-tailed Eagles prey on Emus. The fathers carry the chicks dung away in their beaks and put it a long way away to divert predators. Emu eggs are eaten by reptiles such as goannas and snakes, other birds such as the Black-breasted Buzzards and mammals such as Dingoes.
Emus eat a wide variety of leaves, grasses, fruits, native plants, and insects. In spring and summer, their diet consists mainly of flowers and seeds. In autumn, as those foods become scarce, they graze on young grass which sprouts after summer rains. In winter, herbs form the emu's main food. They eat insects when these are available - such as during grasshopper plagues.
