Can you have an emu as a pet in the city?

Keeping an emu as a pet in the city is generally not advisable and often illegal due to zoning laws and regulations regarding exotic animals. Emus require significant space, specific care, and an appropriate environment that urban settings typically cannot provide. Furthermore, they are large, active birds that can be difficult to manage and may pose a safety risk. Always check local laws and regulations before considering an emu as a pet.
