The term 'Bird from Down Under' is a reference to the EMU, a large flightless bird native to Australia. The EMU is the second-largest living bird by height, after the Ostrich. It is a distinctive looking bird with long legs, a long neck, and a shaggy grey-brown coat of feathers. The EMU is an important cultural icon of Australia, appearing on the Australian Coat of Arms and being featured on the reverse of the Australian 20 cent coin.
