Will emus kill snakes?
Question:I just bought 3 emus in hopes that they will kill snakes on my 25 acre farm. I have two seasonal ponds and I have seen numerous snakes around here.
Is there antoher animal that is better at killing snakes? I have water mocassins and rattlesnakes. And 5 or 6 species that I haven't been able to identify yet.
Answers:
as far as i know, emus arent known for killin snakes, cats, just pet cats are really good for killin snakes, other animals that kill snakes include birds of prey, other snakes (king snakes) and a mongoose (dont know if you can get one of these tho). if you lived closer id come and take care of the snakes myself, i catch em alive no matter what the species. anyways good luck, let me know how things turn out.
Aren't emus the people on YA that keep asking the redundant question: "Am I emo?"
I think I heard they do... you might check out Rheas and Cassowaries as well. What I have heard, also, is that any of these birds, in one swift kick, can gut a human being before he realizes he's been kicked. So be nice to your birdies! :-)

sure a pair of mongoose they can kill cobras and a team will kill every snake there
So you bought 3 of the dumbest birds on earth "hoping" they will kill snakes? Why didn't you find out first?
I highly doubt it. What would make you think they would?
I lived in La. for years and when I got me some emus, the snakes left.I do believe they will stomp them.They pop their feet(claws) when they want to hurt things.I know they can make a rooster run and kill them.When they jump and stop popping their feet,they are stomping something.Aren't they curious?I miss mine.
