Egbert the Emu Arrives at Weston College
Animal Management are delighted to introduce the newest addition to the team: baby Emu, Egbert. Egbert’s carers have been spending lots of quality time with the little chick, in the hopes that he would imprint on them.
This is something that Emus do in the wild in order to learn and identify with their caregivers, in Egbert’s case this is the wonderful Animal Management team.
The incredible staff and students have had great success, with Egbert following them around everywhere and becoming a popular and beloved member of the family.
