Another Yakety Sax Video: Emu on I-35 near Austin heads south for winter - until cops arrive

[TexasTowelie]

You can't blame this emu for heading south for winter — that's what birds do.

But it can’t fly. It can’t drive. It could hitchhike, but it doesn’t have thumbs.

Its only option is to head out on foot.

Until the cops arrive (and learned it wasn't a wild goose chase) .

Police officers had their hands full Sunday afternoon trying to wrangle an emu headed south on Interstate 35 near the interchange with the Texas 45 toll road in southern Travis County.

The video and the remainder of the story are at http://www.statesman.com/weblogs/all-ablog-austin/2013/dec/09/police-head-emu-headed-south-i-35/ .

[font color=green]I nearly hit an emu once in south Texas when I was out for a drive in the country. Therefore, this story does fall into the all things Texan category.

1. Can't we get it bus fare?

Awwwww.

2. Texas? South for the winter?

Why didn't somebody tell that dumb bird that Texas is South. Or maybe it thought it could swim?
