The Great Emu War

In 1932, a large migration of Emus swept through Australia. Devouring crops and terrorizing farmers, these flightless birds numbered in the 20,000. In an attempt to exterminate this enormous flock of birds, the Australians deployed their army to take out the Emus with machine guns. The noise scared the emus into running away, never to be seen again. Other emus attacked the Australians. In the end, the campaign was ineffective, the emus vanished, and it was discovered that emus can take a bullet surprisingly well.

But what if the emu returned? What if they returned to their original strength to occupy their intended territory and seek revenge on Australia?*
