In 1932, Australia declared war on emus — and lost.
After emus destroyed wheat fields in Western Australia, the government launched a military operation to control them. Armed with machine guns, soldiers tried to kill thousands of emus — but the birds outran them.

The “Emu War” ended in complete failure. The birds survived, and Australians still laugh about the time they lost a war to giant birds.
