This is a good time to remember that Moas, Emus, and the other ratites diverged so long ago, they FLEW to different continents, and then lost the ability to fly and became giants independently. You can't just sprinkle a few variants to make one into the other.

Anyone else getting followed by a bunch of progressive bots? Someone or rather something has obviously figured out my politics. Typical format is some vague feel-good aphorism, then the odd picture to suggest realism, then lots of reposts of progressive content.
