Emu Family Bushland Journey

Fun Fact

Emus are the second-largest living bird by height, after their cousin, the ostrich! They can't fly, but they can run incredibly fast and are excellent parents, with the male emu incubating the eggs and raising the chicks.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Feather Textures - Use short, feathery strokes for the adult emu's plumage to show its soft, shaggy texture and varying shades of brown.
2. 2🖍️ Bushland Greens - Explore a rich palette of greens for the native plants, from light lime to deep olive, adding depth and realism to the Australian bushland.
3. 3✨ Sun-Dappled Path - Use warm yellows and soft browns for the sunlit areas of the path, contrasting with cooler grays or purples for the shadows cast by overhead trees.
4. 4🌈 Fluffy Chicks - Make the emu chicks extra adorable with light, fluffy colors like pale brown, cream, or even a very light yellow, highlighting their soft downy feathers.
