Mon May 18, 2009 10:23am AESTThe owner of a sex-deprived emu in the Northern Territory is hopeful it will get some much needed love in coming days.
Seven-year-old Edward the emu, from Katherine, 300 kilometres south of Darwin, has been sitting on an empty nest and trying to round up his female owner, Patrena Arriston, whenever she comes close.
"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," Ms Arriston said last week.
She appealed for anyone with a truck or trailer to help deliver a female emu, located 800 kilometres away, to Katherine to give Edward some much-needed company.
Today, Ms Arriston said a trailer should be available for use by the weekend.
"Hopefully we're going to get that at the end of the week.
"So if nobody else is coming through with an empty trailer we'll be able to organise something."
