By sight
It is very difficult to tell male and female emus apart by sight. If you have a breeding pair, the female is slightly larger than the male, as well as being slightly darker during the breeding season (January – June). She has a pronounced airsac (on her lower neck), whilst the male does not. Additionally, the males penis can be seen when defecating and the male can been recognised during copulation, by being positioned behind the female. |
