Randy ... Edward the emu. (Petrena Arriston)
A sexually-frustrated male emu is chasing a woman in the Northern Territory because it cannot find a female mate.
Patrena Arriston from Katherine, 300 kilometres south of Darwin, says her seven-year-old emu, Edward, began sitting on an empty nest last year and now chases her when she comes close to it.
“It’s starting to get a bit frustrated and when I go in there to pet it or feed the chooks and stuff like that, I sort of get rounded up,” she said.
“It keeps circling me and I have to get a palm frond and hold it up and sort of push it away.”
She says there is a female emu 800 kilometres away but she does not have a trailer to bring it to her property.

The owner of a remote Northern Territory roadhouse which bills itself as one of the world’s UFO hotspots is hoping to play matchmaker in the case of a sex-starved pet emu located 800 kilometres away.
But there’s a problem: the roadhouse owner can’t tell which of his pet emus are male and which are female.
The lonely plight of Edward the emu attracted global attention earlier this month after it was revealed he was sitting on an empty nest and exhibiting amorous behaviour towards his owner because he did not have a mate.
Concerned for Edward’s welfare, owner Patrena Arriston appealed for help to deliver a female emu from Wycliffe Well to Katherine to give the frustrated male emu some much-needed company.
Let’s hope Edward meets the girl of his dreams as soon as they can work out a suitable partner and he lives a happy and long life up in the Top End. We will endeavour to update you on their success as we hear more.
