@@doctordoc2351 anything done out ov greed and prospects for advancement is not done with love. also the fact that everyone making these videos lives more comfortably than i do somehow does not make me pity them or desire them to have more money. if we took greed out education then we could start taking greed out ov politics. one step at a time and lines need to be drawn over important things. but keep 'supporting' people buy watching shit product placements for things you dont want and have no interest in. chew the cod bubbles.
in terms of ecological disasters by invasive or even just marginally obnoxious species, Australia probably has to take the cake... you have the various locust plagues over the past century or so, the mouse plagues, cane toad/bull frog problem in the north east, and then the emu war. there are probably more that I cant remember and even more that I havent even heard of.
I don't know the details but wasn't there something about the British importing rabbits or foxes because they liked hunting them and the populations got out of control so they tried bringing in a natural predator but then that predator population got out of control. Plus I remember a documentary about the feral cat populations being so bad they are now being hunted.
Karen you are partly correct. Foxes were brought for sport and rabbits for fox food. Both destroyed their native counterparts, with a few exceptions of the dingos in central areas which are neither truely native nor widespread, as well as destroying native flora that were already struggling due to introduced species. Have gotten to see Myxomatosis first hand, I am strongly opposed to any biological controls. It is one of the most cruel, prolonged and agonising deaths I have had the misfortune of witnessing. 1080 fox bait is another that is truely inhuman yet accepted.
The can toad problem is not limited to any particular area. It's so bad the rspca (it's like Peta if they weren't crazy) reccomenda we kill them humanely, instead of letting them live as some might think. There's also blackberries. They choke rivers and kill local wildlife (and sheep). We are still looking into more ways to solve the rabbit problem.
The reason the Emu is our national bird is because it can't walk backwards, like the Kangaroo. They stand either side of the coat of arms to represent Australia always moving forward (though our current government wouldn't lead you to think that).
I want this guy as my history teacher. Also, my national bird is a pigeon- it swarms in cities, eats leftover and craps all over everyone; we list them as a protective species because we constantly keep strangling them to death.
Skyrim and Skuldduggery Pleasant. Well my nation bird is the scarlet Macaw it flys over tropical cities,beaches,and rainforests also it is a strong colorful and patriotic symbol of the Nano Empire.

Just watched your videos watching ERB and I thought to myself, "I wonder if he's watched a video on the Emu War?" Turns out you have! You bet as an Australian I was bloody chuffed. Keep up the great work
you gotta know your enemy. in the case of emus, fences are the answer. my natural enemies are some invasive lizards that are currently being a plague here. they reproduce ridiculously fast, mature even faster, and eat every sort of crop.......and since they have no natural predator their population is constantly exploding. but they do have a weakness....they hate the smell of oregano..... so i've made something i call the great wall of oregano to protect my crops., instead of planting the oregano directly into the ground i hate it in pots, so i can move it around as needed......oregano is easy to spread you cut a branch and give it good soil and water and it develops into a new plant. now that i have enough i've started planting it directly into the ground at strategic locations.......so hopefully i can eventually push the invaders out of my land.
It's a great video but I think it's also important to know that another reason that the Emus formed such big herds was a lack of drinking water. Nowadays there are several canals that supply western Australia with water also to prevent another Emu crisis.
I love this playlist because it contains the fun way of presenting that oversimplified does with the extra lesson and education of another history person It is a cool duo
@paula This is a video about an event IN Australia, about an animal FROM Australia, an animal so iconic that it's on our coat of arms, but I guess we'll wait for an American to tell us how to pronounce it yeh? Don't be silly. There aren't differences in pronunciations in region because it only exists in one region. And that region just told you how it's pronounced. XD
Nobody talks about how our man Willem Janszoon landed in Australia on the 26th of February 1606. Only problem was all they found was swampy land, and the people there hostile. The ship lost ten of its crew during various expeditions ashore. Janszoon named the place "Nieu Zeland" (New Zeland). Janszoon, however, didn't realise he had discovered Australia. He thought the land was part of the island of New Guinea.
Apparently a lot of people in Texas raise ratites including emus, but I’ve lived here my whole life and haven’t seen any of em. The ranchers. I haven’t seen the ranchers. Except the Urban Rescue Ranch on TH-cam. I visit the peacock sanctuary on the side of Mt. Bonnell most years. Beautiful birds with big scary dinosaur feet. I’ve never seen an employee there. Just peafowl sittin in trees and jumping to the roof
To be fair, 10 machinegun rounds per target killed isn't even bad. Considering inaccuracy, an excess of shots you might throw down range at one target, and the super tanky Emus, 10,000 rounds for 1,000 deaths is actually pretty solid. The US spent something like 50,000 rounds per enemy killed in vietnam (note that confusing conditions/jungle cover, covering fire, strafing foliage, and so forth drive this figure up), and WW1 consumed hundreds of millions to billions of rounds of ammunition during its duration. There are preppers today with 50,000+ rounds in their homes stocked up. 10,000, while big in number for most all things in life, isn't really that big in the realm of ammunition fired.
Deer don't come with up to 20cm of ballistic protection (feathers which can absorb some rifle fire without the bullet penetrating), have a head about the size of a fist, are one of the faster land animals and operate in the cleared farm lands, making it more difficult the sneak up on them
Ok Mr Terry if my school had a history teacher like you I'd be studying 24/7 because you seem like an actual person instead of a machine throwing random facts at us.
The horrifying thing is that if the emus were a tad bit smarter and were fully aware that they could maul us to the sun and back, Australia would’ve been in ruins
One thing that's funny is if emus are compared to tanks because of many bullets, then when Japan invaded part of Australia in world war two, i kinda wonder if the army swapped tanks out for these birds and used the emus in battle.
Humanity's second war on birds didn't go any better, in the long run: Part of China's Great Leap Forward was 'sparrows are a national pest, KILL ALL OF THEM.' Turned out the sparrows were the only thing holding off a literal plague of locusts.
I live in Florida, and we had over 40 head of emu at one time until a hurricane blew a tree on my dad's fence. Now there a quite a few of wild ones running around NW Florida lol. Thy do taste amazin thought, very lean and healthy meat. Also, my grandparents are resolute believers in emu oil. Like, oh you've got a bad burn? Spray some emu oil on it. A cut? Emu oil. Dry skin? Emu oil. Like the dad from My Big Fat Greek Wedding lol.
Actually in WWII (I think it was WWII, that could be wrong) some German navy ships saw a German plane, thought it was British, and fired, leading to some ships sinking. This was considered a British victory even though the British weren’t even there.
1:09 Yeah, nah yeah yeah nah yeah, Only on bloody mondays Mr. Terry. And only when we forget bloody to put on our bloody vegemite. Bloody repels the buggers it bloody does.
Australia during WW1 and WW2: Battling with New Zealand and taking German territory in Papau new Guinea and Northern Africa Also Australia: Loses to a bunch of birds
Australia has two national animals and we eat both of them. The emu has been a good source of food and ceremonies for the Aboriginal Australians through their history. It’s not usually readily available and is not popular as food now. Kangaroos though, outnumber people 2:1. We Only eat specific types and even then not every body does.- though you can get their meat at the supermarket. It’s very lean and healthier for you than other options. Most species are protected but they are also pests on farms.
Aaaah yes the FUCKING EMOOS Infantry: The Emu Artillery support: Magpies and Pluvers Commander: the Cassowari Range support: Koala 501st Commandos: ... EVERY POISONOUS BASTARD HERE
Ok, to be fair, if you give a bunch of Army veterans land to farm and it is attacked by a large force...of anything, they are 100% call their Army buddies to solve the problem. When your tool is a hammer, EVERYTHING looks like a nail.
that was an interesting thing you said in regards to the food production demand due to the first ww1. Haven't heard that anywhere before. But in general I feel that we are often forgetting about the roots of a war/crisis. Like how the American depression spiraling to a world-wide great depression bringing the fear and anger towards the people in Germany which then could be abused and focused into one (wrong) direction which in turn gave Hitler enough support for his plans. So those types of links and connections on a global perspective are very welcome
