Emily is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curlew">curlew</a>, a type of bird that exists all over the world, but only in Australia does it try to kill you. In that, Emily is carrying on a long tradition. Television host, zookeeper, and third-generation crocodile hunter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Irwin_(television_personality)">Robert Irwin</a> worked with Emily to get her to stop attacking him.<blockquote>This hilarious little character is a completely wild curlew that lives on one of our conservation reserves in the remote Aussie outback. She’s not guarding a nest, doesn’t have a mate to defend - she’s just got A LOT of attitude! &nbsp; </blockquote>

We don't know what Emily is saying, but you can bet it's rude, crude, and would be NSFW in English. There may be more to come with this series, but I have my doubts about whether Emily will ever become a friendly bird.
