Sad news to share today... Winston, the emu who brought smiles and (feigned) international controversy to the world, has tragically died. Condolences to Cassandra Redding, who loved Winston dearly and provided a very good life. And thank you @WFeatherbill, for just being you. ❤
This is Winston’s owner.
Winston passed away yesterday. A terrible chain of events happened that ultimately led to someone trying to capture Winston with a lead, causing Winston’s neck to be broken. If you ever see a loose animal, report, do not restrain.
@VickiWerneke @stu_rush@drgurner Thanks for the correction! I love @stu_rush no matter the name! Not everyday you become part of an International Incident.
@Emil24@stu_rush All I can say is “Ouch.” Mine was, not quite as painful looking. They snatched up my legs and held on real tight, with a pillowcase over my head, so I couldn’t see and carried me like a strongly held baby to my trailer.
@PeggySueShannon We have our own motley crew. My duck and chicken friends are a little bit more wary of me. I just like to peck pretty things, it’s not my fault.
