This photo is a few years old but Mildew (who started life as
Millie - until 'she' turned out to be 'he'), who was given to me by my son
Tim as a Christmas present after I'd said I'd love a pet emu, was the reason
for half of my lawn being dug up. Mildew started out with the full run of
the back garden but unfortunately liked eating flowers, so we fenced off
a huge area and gave him a little swimming pool. Although Tim built him
a wonderful little house I had trouble catching him to put him in there
where he was safe from the fox. Sadly he should have allowed me to know
best!
