Runaway emu 'Taco' strolls down busy highway

wls
By ABC7
October 4, 2012

Because emus don't fly, Taco took to the streets in his search. The 4-year-old, 5' tall bird peered into cars as he walked up and down the highway. A sheriff's dash cam caught the big bird on video.

His owner said it's mating season- and the bird got out of his yard.
