We have had the first real freezing night of the year.
Down to -2 degrees centigrade to -5, Izzy the emu was nestled down in the field (her choice as she never wants to come into the stable or shelter).
In the morning she still has frost on her back and frozen feathers! It’s quite amazing to see how well she is insulated!
Considering emus come from Australia, this time of year they should be basking in 19 to 27 degrees centigrade in the Southern Hemisphere.
