Have just got a 2 month old hand raised emu that needed to be rehomed (my first). Very friendly, fits in with us, dog, horses, chickens etc, but her "inquisitive" pecking is too hard. I dont' like it, and I can't expect my nice dog to be patient forever with hard face pecks. No, they're not aggresive, just too much, and feel it needs to be nipped in the bud, so to speak, before she gets bigger and stronger. I don't want to "peck" back because that seems to escalate the situation. Squirt bottles have been suggested and I've tried them a bit, works ok around me but my dog doesn't know how to work one... Any advice??
