Emu Birds Park
The Emu did not listen to pose for a photograph
Coming back from Lover's Point, we had one last stop at the Emu Birds Park. But before that I saw lots of turmeric piled up at a road side with a very small cottage. Turmeric from Daringbadi is famous for its authenticity, so we thought, we would bring some as it would be cheap at the source.
These tribal people do not use any fertilizer and use natural resources, so the quality and smell of these turmeric is unmatched. But there was no one around, so I called loudly and a lady accompanying a small kid came out along with two other kids.
I asked, if they would sell these turmeric and she firmly denied saying we can take few free, but these are not for sale, as they sale it in bulk. I did not like to bring for free, so I just picked couple of them, to differentiate between what we get locally. But I was touched by her generosity, they are not rich, but they still offer it for free.
And these people make their own bricks as you can see. For them necessity is the only driving force to work, not abundance, and they definitely sleep better than us.
Driving back around 5 miles, the Emu Birds Park was visible on the main road.
Kids were excited to go and discover the Emu for the first time. Looking at the entrance, we thought, they are kept in a large enclosure, as we heard, these birds can run at a speed of 30 miles per hour.
But what we discovered that only 5 birds were available and kept inside a small enclosure and they were not looking very healthy as well.
One of them was more fond of people and was coming close. Some people had taken peanuts to feed them and kids wanted to feed them as well, but nothing was available nearby. The snacks that we had was not suitable for them.
Spending half an hour, we decided to leave from here, starting the very long drive back to home. On our way back, Eco Retreat was visible from the road, and we decided to stop for a minute.
You can see the zoom capability of the Camera in these above photos.
ON the right, this lovely spot drew the attention of the lady as she was searching a place to do a reel.
So we all stepped out and climbed to the top and the crew successfully did the shootings.
And from here I made them promise not stop anywhere else, as we were getting late, and I had to drive even though rest all can relax.
But on the way, I could not resist stopping after seeing these fresh vegetables on a village road side. And believe me, the price was one third of what we get here and they were farm fresh. So we packed as much as we could, with no more space left over.
When we left from Eco Retreat a driver had recommended to keep an eye for this fresh sugarcane juice, that would come just after a bridge, where a very tall idol of Lord Hanuman stands.
Since then, the kid had it in his mind and was vigilant to watch all bridge, and finally we found it(was so much fun). We drank half liter each and packed couple of liters - the recommendation was pretty good. Unfortunately we had heated arguments with a local politician over me parking the vehicle on the left, some people just try to create mesh out of anything. In the interest of time, we preferred not to complicate it.
After driving 4 hours at a stretch, they wanted to eat something and this road side shop was pretty good to offer them a lot at very competitive price. That sweet is made of Black Gram, unique to the locality, and we loved it. I always wonder, how they manage to offer at half price than cities, and still be profitable.

Buying products locally is cheaper since it doesn't have expenses of transportation and it's no chemicals added. It's better to buy from them than the displayed products in the store.
So sad to read about the health condition of the emu. I hope they will try to resolve your observation. 😊
I think, the park was initially big but has failed to maintain over the time, with many birds dying. Government funding would have been done then.
True.. The Government fund could resolve it.😊

It's sounds like you had an amazing time out there. Despite the Emu Park's mixed experience, the generosity of the local lady and the fresh roadside finds really made your travel a memorable one. Plus, your pictures re so beautiful and clean. Thanks for sharing your experience man..
It is definitely a beautiful park, local people are very friendly. Eating out at small shops is just as fun and cheaper. It was a beautiful day for you. keep having fun
Yes, that was how I bought some fresh vegetables and lots of stuff from the farmers last weekend at a very cheaper rate on my way back from office assignment compared to what we get in the city.
I love how you always take your family out for outting at your leisure.
The Emus don´t look happy indeed, they need much bigger space and better care. What are the owners keeping them for? Tourist attraction? The hospitality of the poor locals who let you take their products for free, on the other hand, is really amazing and heart warming. Did you give them any money anyway? :)

I called them to come near me and they ran away :) They seems to be scared of outside people. However during our trip, another kid was asking for some help standing on the road and the kids gave him lot of snacks and he was so happy...
:)
The birds park is a great place to see so many birds and their kinds
The pictures are awesome
Are some of these birds wild?
Yes.
How are you, dear friend @sanjeevm
It's amazing that the people who have the least are always very generous.
It's great that the children were finally with the "emu"
A beautiful family outing
Have a great day
The atmosphere looks quite pleasant. I hope my friends are always happy there🙏🥰
I saw salt piles at many places but never saw Turner pile...this is new for me...thanks for sharing 😀
First time I've heard about the Emu but it must be a strong bird to run at that incredible speed of 30 miles, definitely a fairly complete ride with multiple options to see
a good mountain of turmeric I can already imagine the smell they give off must be incredible the EMU is a bird that I am hearing for the first time, perhaps that is why it is protected like this and is in danger of extinction
What a nice exploration!
You had a very nice time with the birds out there
Good day!!!

Es una granja de Avestruz ? La comida Luce genial...hermoso contenido..
Yeah, those Emus look a bit thin and unhealthy. I have read a lot of zoos and places that use animals for attraction usually don't take care of the animals well. It's nice that you got a great deal on the vegetables. I would have done the same thing and bought as much as I could. I'll only worry how to eat them all afterwards.
Exactly Sir. They are very innocent. Generous even when you are not affluent.....that's the biggest trait of Human values.
Living close to Nature always shapes our philosophy of life that way.
ha ha ha ......I can understand....😀
Because the city, service component is always inflated.
It was really a nice tour you had, I am sure it must have been a pure rejuvenating experience.
Thank you.
Jai Jagannath
🙏🙏🙏
Yes, it was very refreshing.
👍👍👍👍
Those birds are really looking so huge and beautiful to behold and actually
You have quite an adventure there. Being inspired by your post, now I miss long travels already 😜 I saw a video recently that Emu (in India) are not meant to be consumed as food, however the eggs can be eaten (pls correct me if I’m wrong about that).
By the way, I’m deeply touched by the generosity and humility of the lady. Omg, how I wish that we (humankind) will be as kind as her. The world will be a different place if so.
Thanks for sharing your trip. I enjoyed reading and viewing the photos as well.
