Emu Chick
An emu chick picture may baffle viewers because of the sheer size of the chick.
The eggs of these birds are dark green to blend with the grass. The male waits until the female lays at least 9 eggs and then he starts incubating them by sitting on the nest. He incubates them for 52-56 days and doesn’t eat or drink during this time.
