On this spray-free raspberry farm in Portland, Victoria, Craig and Melissa Woods grow most of their own food, use solar power and collect water in tanks. All the animals on their farm have their place in the food web and provide a function on their farm.
Farmer Craig Woods says that his pet emus eat the locusts and pest grubs, and kill foxes and snakes. They may have dinosaur’s feet with a 'toenail like a can-opener',but these emus love a cuddle and a selfie pic.
Produced by Emily Bissland, ABC South West Victoria.

I'm so pleased to see Avian/Australian relations in such a good place after the Great Emu War.

Beyond hilarious to watch the pig just instantly roll over when his gut was getting scratched. What a feel good story.

Wonderful story. How refreshing to see you as a farmer using animals and emus for pest control etc., rather than the common methods of poison and shooting animals. I live in a rural area and it's shocking how poison is used as well as killing our native wildlife. Your Emus are beautiful ❤ Thanks 😊

Well that wasn't even near long enough...I want to see more! As Chris Howes in other comments said - this is just waiting for a unique TV special. What a great way to incorporate the benefits of native fauna into a modern farm environment. Understated, user friendly cottage industry. Makes you want to go and visit Einstein, Goose & Wanda. Well done Craig & Melissa :)

Great story. My boss has several horses on some acreage - and an emu that thinks he's a horse. If the horses bolt, so does he. At night he gets penned like the horses. Look up Colonel Mick Rizzoli, the equine king.

My stepdad raises emus, and my families love for emus started with our sweet female, Pepper Ann. She was such an amazing bird. Probably one of the most sweetest she did, was when our livestock gaurdian dogs had puppies. They were kept in a penned area and when the mama would step out of the area to go to the bathroom or eat Pepper would step into the pen and lay down with the puppies, she loved them and they loved her. She had done other things like herding goats, and she was a wonderful pet. Sadly, she passed away after getting meningeal worm. It's been a very long time since she died, but I still miss her so much. Thankfully, we still have her buddy, Louis and he is now with the herd.

Living the dream. Seems impossible to me right now, i'm trapped in a city, price of land is out of reach, but maybe i'll find a way to live off the land one day.... somehow. I don't think it's so much to want in life, but a lot of land is hoarded by very few people.

I was wondering in Emus had the toe weapon like kasuari, it looks like they do. Better stay on good terms with those birds, they can be deadly. It looks like they are very well socialized, and lovely animals. The babies are just adorable, living dinosaurs.

All sounds wonderful except for the poor guinea pig's being food for the raptors? Did I hear correctly? After having a pet guinea pig, I cannot fathom allowing pet guinea pig's to be food. If they live in the wild, that's different.
