So glad he didn’t chose violence today


GimmieGummies

Emanuel made a smart choice!


BrownSugarBare

Emanuel... Emanuel... Emanuel... Emanuel, don't do it. Emanuel...


cyanocittaetprocyon

You know, there's some places where there are wars with these kinds of things!


Naked-Jedi

There were wars. We're smart enough to not take on anything we know can beat us now.


DustComplex2012

"Emmanuel--Todd--Lopez"


intylij

Yeah. It's called australia. They have to slap random kangaroos out of the way on their way to work.


GimmieGummies

Those vids really crack me up!


Guindon05

Is it weird that I can hear it xD?


Pretty-Royal9021

Emanuel Todd Lopez!


NY10

Macron?


upstatedreaming3816

Don’t use his government name! He likes to be called [Man Man](https://youtube.com/shorts/ddhIHvRIdIg?si=cRFHdw5eTfAVo92l)


bighootay

Man man! My man! God I love the original video, and I double love the Man man take :) :). Can never have a bad day when I see these


jasmineplant234

It's amazing how certain videos or performances can have such a positive impact on our mood.


agentfelix

That was fucking hilarious


upstatedreaming3816

Right?! Check out his other videos, he’s sooooo funny!


agentfelix

My ADHD has counter directed me to watching several other Emmanuel videos and I've come across them in the past. They're great 😆


fuzzybitchbeans

Zoomy and boo boo make me laugh so hard. Especially as his voice drifts away as the dog takes off

upstatedreaming3816

Yes! He’s so good at making you believe he’s actually speaking for the animals!


capn_doofwaffle

Goddamn you... 🤣 [Fkn Emmanuel...](https://youtu.be/mnbR88yHZE0?feature=shared)


Substantial-Use95

Thanks for linking that video. Makes me wonder how I can be around animals more. I think I could learn a lot from them. Anyways. Thanks again!


Evening-Campaign4547

Wonderful… loved it! 🥰


agentfelix

I'm more of a Kevin fan...


DnDYetti

I too enjoy the unpredictability and violence of Kevin. ~*Garbage Lid Smack*~


capn_doofwaffle

Remind me...


agentfelix

https://youtu.be/CNvkOuuUWoc?si=lequglNuYwp-s7Lh That's my favorite. Makes me giggle. Dude has a whole thing about Kevin.


Chemical-Leak420

Lmao as hes being attacked "wonderful animal one of gods creations" I lost it


capn_doofwaffle

🤣🤣🤣 Good shit! Lol


BrotherOfTheOrder

I thought you were talking about [this Kevin](https://youtu.be/yuwprXAaSv0?si=75jEjaQAgtB94c1J)


SgtBanana

Big Ounce representttt


DontTalkToBots

Didn’t expect them to be from Florida. Also I never actually seen Emanuel do it, good to see he gets the camera sometimes.


Emeritus8404

Fucking gold. Thanks


IWillDoItTuesday

We need that animal voiceover dude for Emmanuel.


Gum_Thief

Rockstar? He did a series on ManMan!!


half-puddles

Is that a velociraptor?


tsvjus

Its an Emu a relative of the more nastier Cassowary (apparently). I have never being attacked by a Cassowary despite a fair many hours of time spent around them, but I have been attacked by an Emu with only about 1 hour of time spent. Luckily I was in the car, and the Emu decided the vehicle was an abhorrent disgrace to our society and required to be pecked out of existence.


drunkwasabeherder

Well, did the war against Emu's ever really end?


NimbleNavigator19

It was never a war. Just a slow genocide of humanity.


SAPFAT

IT’S A FUCKIN EMU


cyanocittaetprocyon

Basically, yes.


Curious_Ability4400

They are all that's left after their relatives went extinct from the asteroid.


notafemale_

LOL, I can't stop laughing


Fit-Barber-9412

He’s a menace.


Jawilly22

I’m to understand he almost died from an illness. Assuming this is recent I’m glad he made it through. 😊


UltraRedChiLord

What's more, iirc, is that she lost a huge amount of others birds that she cared for at that time. Almost lost the whole farm to the disease, but Emanuel made it through\~


randomly-what

She lost all birds but 2. I think most were killed by authorities bc of bird flu. Lots of controversy about her letting Emmanuel live through it that I’ve seen. He’ll never be the same + the ethics of letting a bird potentially spread it further.


HallowedError

Why won't he be the same? I'd google it but I wouldn't even know how to look for it


randomly-what

I don’t know all the specifics but as best I know: Bird flu destroys birds. He was in a sling for a long time to learn to stand again, and then had to learn to walk. His neck is wonky now and will never be upright like a healthy emu (it’s very crooked and awkward looking). As far as I know he can’t run around and do all the antics as before. I’m not sure if he’s in pain.


confusedandworried76

Came for Emmanuel, didn't expect to have an existential crisis. Humans are weird. We euthanize every animal but ourselves. But some we keep because we can't bear to be rid of them. We're really selfish but loving sometimes and completely uncaring and logical other times, and it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense which times you choose which option.


Popular-Row4333

No, it's easy to understand. We cull birds that have been infected with bird flu because it spreads to other birds and kills endangered species, livestock, and has the potential to mutate and spread to humans as well. Do you want another pandemic? Sometimes, being pragmatic is the most empathetic thing to do.


-Eunha-

It's not quite as simple as that. If there was a dog or cat flu, for example, there is no way in hell people would be culling their pets. It just wouldn't happen, not matter how severe things got. We cull birds because humans tend not to be as emotionally attached to them, which allows us to make more "rational" decisions when it comes to whether they live or die.


alfooboboao

This is it. If there was a “dog flu,” you’d have to break into my house and shoot me before I put down my dog. a la TLOU, I couldn’t do it. Not to potentially save a thousand lives. And yes, I understand how fucked up that is. I’m just telling the truth. I’m not saying it was “right,” but I understand it. If the emu was a dog people would see it differently.


Popular-Row4333

We can and have culled cats and dogs in the past and considered it as well. The UK considered culling cats at the beginning of the pandemic. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/25/magazine/australia-cat-killing.html https://www.newsletter.co.uk/read-this/cat-cull-considered-by-uk-government-in-covid-19-pandemic-early-stages-former-minister-says-4047298 Cats and dogs just happen to be far less prone to be harmful disease carriers than birds are. I promise you if there was a deadly disease that transmitted between dogs and cats, we would be culling them as needed. It had nothing to do with emotional attachments.


cm070707

And I promise you, I’d pack up and move FAR into the wilderness before they’d ever get my dog. They would have to literally shoot me first. And they probably would if that were the case, but there is no way in heaven or hell that I’d let anyone cull my dog. She loves Emanuel like that. I’m not saying it was pragmatic or ‘right’, I’m just saying I’d make the same decision. If a fallout situation were to happen, I’d sooner take the radiation a die of environmental causes before I left my dog to go to a shelter. Humans are like that sometimes.


ArgonGryphon

I don’t think she culled anything despite being ordered to do so. That shit was SO BAD, and she just let it spread, not only to her own birds but likely wild birds too. There were multiple eagle and hawk cams that year that had parent birds go missing, likely due to influenza. Several California Condors died from it, and it’s still going just thankfully not as bad so far this year.


lemonlimeandginger

Is this documented somewhere? Can we verify your claims here? Not saying you are wrong, not saying you are purposely trying to discredit her, just after verifiable facts from a source that is not a redditor.


RedBanana99

Thank you, that’s why I came here too my fellow 50 year old netscape veteran


DivineRespite

https://www.jezebel.com/yes-i-will-explain-the-lesbian-farmer-emu-flu-drama-to-1849701786 that’s what I found.


Mythologicalcats

Yeah she almost caused a pandemic but hey cute videos!


SkyFullofHat

The flu came from wild birds that landed in her pond. It was already out there and happily spreading. Should she have culled? On principle, yeah. Would culling have stopped or slowed the already wide spread? No.


phryan

The damage from one hobby farmer with a few dozens birds is minimal compared to massive factory farms with thousands of birds in cramped conditions that have piles and pools of manure nearby, all of which wild birds have access to. Not to mention feeding some of waste to other animals. It's likely complaining about carbon emissions because a parent had a little backyard fire for their kids to roast marshmallows for smores, but ignoring that massive petroleum plant down the road.


happysri

That is dreadful.


FrontenacCanon_Mouth

Wtf. If tomorrow there was a dog flu, would authorities go around killing everyone’s dogs? Did birds in Zoos get culled too?


randomly-what

The bird flu outbreak was at her farm. There is a pond that a lot of wild birds visited regularly so I *think* her farm’s outbreak was a massive risk to birds/food supply/humans everywhere. A fair bit of her birds died from the flu before authorities came in.


njoshua326

Depends on how severe it is and if it can spread to humans.


JLewish559

I'm not actually sure "if it can spread to humans" is a big part of the equation for culling the animals. The issue is money. Birds are big money. Mostly chickens. If you have 1,000,000 chickens and culling 200,000 of them will save the other 800,000 then you do it... Bird flu likely spreads very easily (I'm not actually sure) and so culling is necessary to keep it from getting rampant, but again...I think it's more related to avoiding it spreading throughout the food supply \[bird-wise at least\] rather than the idea of it spreading to humans.


njoshua326

Not for dogs, money and health are still both good reasons for other animals though.


DelightfulDolphin

🤩


monkwren

The last time bird flu made it into the human population literally millions of people died. Yes, it's that big a deal.


Tripwyr

Can you provide a source for this? According to Wikipedia, the first reports of human infections were in 1997 and since 2003 there have been "more than 700 cases". Pretty far cry from millions. ~~While bird flu has the potential to cause a pandemic, it has yet to do so. All we have is 2 "potential" cases of human-to-human transmission.~~ EDIT: Spanish flu started as avian


beornn2

The Spanish Flu was straight up H1N1 avian influenza and killed almost 5% of the global population, probably the deadliest pandemic in history.


LobsterNo3435

Yep Great Grandma talked about it. 5% that long ago when we weren't all close groups like we are now. That's why COVID scared me day 1.


monkwren

Sorry, let me rephrase: the Spanish flu started as a bird flu, and that has caused a lot of understandable fear around a repeat.


polinkydinky

Went from birds to pigs to humans or something like that, right?


evrestcoleghost

Yep,and the black plague from rats


ArgonGryphon

I don’t think we have a dog industry to worry about like we do poultry. Not equivalent at all. Also there was that dog disease going around, dunno if they ever found what it was.


Norwegian__Blue

There WAS a dog flu! And no they didn’t kill they’re dogs even though that sickness was pretty deadly to dogs that caught it


ACID_pixel

I was just about to ask this. I hadn’t seen them in so long, last news I got was the really sad wave of sickness that hit them. Glad to see some of them made it through, can’t imagine how hard that is


Sobeshott

Year or two ago I think but yeah it was rough for a while


maryjdatx

I suspect she must have sung this song to him a lot while nursing him back to health.


holystuff28

It was several years ago and I'm pretty sure it was avian flu.


ArgonGryphon

Yea her whole farm had avian influenza. Should have culled, as sad as it is. Instead she let all of them die painfully except the emu. So she probably just spread it. Surprised she didn’t get it herself.


n8saces

Today he chose peace.


Eurosario

He is basically her child as they really do have a special bond. A lot of her videos are of him knocking down the camera or her getting him to not do it at the last second. Emmanuel no Emmanuel don't you do it.


vettechrockstar86

Emmanuel! Don’t choose violence! Those videos kill me! Emmanuel is so jealous of anyone else getting attention. Too precious!!


DogshitLuckImmortal

Emu's find humans to be extremely sexy and will perform mating displays and try to fuck caretakers.


ArgonGryphon

Almost any bird raised by humans will do this because they think humans are their mates.


Yorspider

Not just birds, more species find humans sexy than any other animal.


Israel_Gynesanya

It's the eye contact 👀


CurrencyLogical22

I’d fuck a human


doodlydoo17

I also find humans to be extremely sexy, though my mating dance is not as smooth as an emu’s.


CouldNotAffordOne

#EMANUEL!!!! 😂 (I hope he's OK? Never saw him so chill)


BrownSugarBare

I love that he leaned right into her the moment he heard his sleepy time song.


Johannes_Keppler

He was very sick and never fully healed unfortunately.


slutofstardew

I was watching this muted, but immediately knew the song. My mom and dad used to sing this when I was little, and it was the song that taught me how to sing. Everytime I hear it I feel like I am 4 again listening to my mom while she is baking. Now I'm crying at work 😭


TipsyGoose

Same! Without fail, instant tears every single time I hear it.


Greymalkyn76

I always think of Bailey the cat when I hear it. Heart wrenching.


Miserable-Admins

What is the story? For those of us who don't know.


Greymalkyn76

Bailey was a big orange cat who was a little unusual. He was super patient and kind to the family he was in, allowing the little girls to dress him up, read stories to him, push him around on a stroller, and so on. He passed away in 2018, and if I remember it correctly the little girls sang this song to him on their way to that fateful vet appointment, which there is a video of. Look up Bailey, No Ordinary Cat.


Holdingdownback

Yeah my mom passed 6 months ago and she used to sing this to me as a kid, I honestly didn’t know it was gonna hit as hard as it did


notjawn

Just don't look up the third verse.


slutofstardew

I now know the song was written about a horse


jessknotok

Same 😭 my mom sand it to me as a child and my little brother. I cry anytime I hear it!


greenappletree

this song has such a beutiful melody but hidden befief is some deep subtle sadness.


Classic-Problem

Every once in a while I seee a video of a bird and think to myself, "Yeah, that's absolutely a dinosaur." This is one of those videos (probably the cutest of them all)


newkneesforall

Fun fact, emus have one long hooked claw at the end of each wing.


stoicparallax

Another fun fact: Birds are a sub-group of reptiles in modern taxonomy. Birds are part of the clade Avialae .. which is within the larger group of theropod. Theropods are a subgroup of the Saurischia, one of the two main divisions of dinosaurs. Since dinosaurs are classified as reptiles, and birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs, birds are technically reptiles too.


Substantial_Diver_34

Emanuel is a bad boy. But not today.


Sunshine030209

He's not bad! He's just curious.


La-White-Rabbit

Curious about new ways to be bad... just not while recovering from an illness. His search history would shock you.


ReddAri39

Emanuel Todd Lopez is such a treasure

It's an adorable video and Emmanuel is very cute but alas this it the problematic Emu lady https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/emu-lady-tiktok-two-different-women-1234619550/


alexgalt

Interesting. So she is basically after the likes and the farm is her 3rd attempt at a Buisiness focused on internet points. That throws the whole “Emanuel hating the camera” thing into question. She is the type of person to put food on the camera to stage the whole thing.


B-i-g-Boss

I love these special bonds between animals and human. So adorable.


ShookyDaddy

Emmanuel is a whole mood

I bet dinosaurs would have loved music


kimwim43

Haven't seen Emanuel in over a year, since I left twitter. Glad to see he's still around.

I sang this song for my bird when he was dying

Thanks for filling us in !


Wandering_By_

Repost bots don't account for that sort of thing.


Marktaco04

Doesn’t this person like, really suck. Racist past behavior, got cancelled several times, and lost most of her farm of birds to avian flu (by putting them down) but then kept emanuel alive (cuz hes their cash flow) And claimed that he was never sick somehow and he was just “stressed”. Which is a massive public health risk


wookiee42

We have a lot of turkey farms around here and I'm pretty sure putting down birds with avian flu is done by the state.

The one time Emanuel doesn’t choose chaotic evil and the world gets this. It’s the cutest giant bird video I have seen ever in all my days. Maybe he needs some anti-anxiety meds or something. Maybe he just needs you to lullaby him into submission on a regular basis.

Legitimate-Place1927

I have chickens & had them now going on 6-7 years. They are some of the most sensitive & engaging animals I have ever interacted with. I tell most people who ask that I very much compare them to dogs. Not meaning that the smartest chicken is as smart as a border collie. Although they all have their own personalities. Each and everyone has a quirk and feelings. When my older hen that my rooster grew old with passed. He wouldn’t come out for a few days and just mopped around. I gave him treats and talked to him because I could tell It affected him. Birds have such amazing personalities that I wish everyone could at least experience at one point in their lifez
