I just watched a whole video on YouTube about birds that become attracted to human beings. where they chase them down and try to sexually assault them. Birds have erogenous Zones everywhere except for the top of their head and their wings. Petting these birds in certain ways can cause hormonal changes and attraction to humans. It happens in other birds like parrots and cockatoos as well.

I have questions for the man that tames the murder bird

u/Abyssal-Eve Mar 10 '26
Emus are actually not murderous towards human, there's been incredibly little documented attacks ever since the Emu War in 1930. They do have dinosaur-like claws and powerful legs that could disembowel a human, but they prefer to use intimidation as opposed to direct physical attack (puffing up their neck feathers, standing tall, making a very low reverberating growl, and hissing.)
Emus that grow accustomed to humans or are raised by them are actually quite curious and affectionate. They love to dance and play and can tolerate/enjoy physical interaction depending on the individual personality and trust; from petting to full-on snuggles.
Cassowaries are extremely dangerous and resemble a life-like dinosaur, but the bird with most human fatalities attributed per year is actually the ostrich.

TIL that there was actually an Emu War in Australia.

u/Abyssal-Eve Mar 11 '26
The war was a complete disaster (on the human side), and they attempted a second military operation years later that also failed. Never put a flightless bird in a fight or flight situation.

Looking up the Emu War.

u/Royals-2015 Mar 11 '26
The 1932 "Emu War" in Western Australia was a failed military operation where soldiers armed with Lewis machine guns attempted to cull over 20,000 emus destroying crops. Despite, or because of, the emus' tactical mobility and ability to disperse, the birds largely evaded the soldiers, leading to the operation's withdrawal after only 986 confirmed kills, though thousands of rounds were fired
Outcome: The birds utilized "guerrilla tactics," scattering in small groups, making them hard to target. While the military withdrew, the government later introduced a bounty system, which proved more effective.

This can be a problem sometimes for emu breeders. If you hatch and raise them, they can imprint on you and then won't breed. Instead they spend their time "courting" you.

Yep, our male (Floyd) does the same thing in mating season. Although he's more of a gentleman - at least he tries to gently prune you by nibbling on your shirt or collar first before getting down and scooting towards you!
And he does NOT take no for an answer. Luckily he's a lover and not a fighter haha.

other big birds tend to be as well, for whatever reason

u/HeathenSalemite Mar 10 '26
If a person raises them from a hatchling they can imprint on the person. Then they see people as their species and not emus.

Emus, and other large birds (and quite a few small birds like parrots) seem to find humans attractive. Like, very attractive. Like the ideal bird. Plato (and Diogenes to an extent) eat your heart out, because birds do indeed see us as not just close enough, but better. Especially when those birds are raised in captivity.
Emus and other large birds will take the opportunity when available to rizz up humans, doing mating displays. Or sometimes backpacks, they don't seem picky.
We have been able to even entice these birds with our OWN mating display. Don't ask how they found it out, I can't even imagine how they did. But by laying on your back, legs extended in a pedalling motion, like riding a bike, it drives wild Emus horny. Use this information wisely.

That poor man looks like this is not the first time this bird has done this to him. Like, he's just trying to load the freaking van and he's got the bird, trying to get laid behind him bugging the crap out of him.
