Info from Licensor: "My husband and I were spending our first family holiday at Monkey Mia which we used to go to every year before having our daughter. My husband and my daughter were playing on the grass in front of our villa when I heard the sound of baby emus (they continually call out to their dad while walking around (the mums don't look after the young, just dad's or uncles). I looked outside and they were sitting on the grass while the dad/uncle emu was strolling by with 20 chicks, it was an amazing moment! We later found out from the rangers that the chicks were from 2 families but the other daddy emu unfortunately died and the dad in this video took on all those chicks too. A very special moment!"
