	Two of our emus were found wandering in the woods by our local animal shelter. Local breeders thought they would make big money selling emu oil and then decided to ditch them. The other two were hatched by kids for a school project. Once they were born and the lesson plan was over the baby emus were no longer useful.
All babies are small...
Then they grow up...

Photo opportunities: If you would like to use our image(s) or if you would like to shoot photos of our animals for your own animal-friendly, non-violent projects let us know. If it does not exploit our animals and gets us a donation we will consider it. Send inquiries to kerry@rikkisrefuge.org.

Photographers wanted: We need volunteers to snap shots of our animals for a variety of projects -- including the website. We'll credit you with the photos that we use, but Rikki's will retain all rights to the image. It's a good way to build a photographic resume -- and get some use out of that digital camera that you just had to have but never use.
