What does it take for a large bird to win a war? Why would one wage a war against a bird? We answer all these questions an more as this episode dives into the Emu Wars of 1932, where frustrated farmers enlisted the military to combat a massive emu population destroying their crops.
We'll explore the background of WWI veterans turned wheat growers, the surprising tactics used against the fast and flightless foes, and the unexpected outcome of this "war."
