Leicestershire Emus and Rheas

Welcome to the Leicestershire Emus and Rheas website
EMUS – Dromaius novaehollandiae / COMMON RHEA - Rhea americana

I have been keeping and breeding emus since 1997. They are friendly, fascinating birds and not difficult to keep successfully. Like any animal they do have individual characteristics and are very hardy in our unpredictable English climate. Whether your interest is for business or pleasure, this website will give you some basic information about Emus and Rheas.

After 10 years breeding Emus I decided it was time to expand into Rheas as well.  These South American birds that are the same family as Emus have many similarities yet also many differences.  Follow the link below to find out more about these elegant birds.
