Note the ciggy in the emu's mouth (which clearly started the fire in the fens) and his use of the F word, a blatant f-you to a local columnist. This bird is in tune with the local scene for sure.

The Emu is also under 21, drinking PBR, and carrying a large pile of Shepard Fairey-style OBEY OSTRICH stickers. When they catch him, the judge will certainly make him call his parents in Australia at an inconvenient hour!

Points to the Wild parrots of East Boston: "A bid, you call that bird?"

Point to the Waltham Emu: "Now that's a bird, Mate!"
