Hairey Homestead

Many emus are spooked easily or have issues with loud noises. We not only have a shooting range in one of our pastures that we at times hold events in, but often use loud equipment around them. From very early on, we give them treats as they come around to where the loud noises are. To this day, when they see people or hear loud noises, they congregate to where it is or to the gate to receive treats. A great way to desensitize your animals and help them not get too spooked at the very minimum. 🤔
We moved some (not so noisy) equipment today but the result is still the same.
