Bindi, 24, and Chandler, 26, then opened up about their love for Australia’s tallest native bird.
“One of my favorite things about emus is their expressions,” Chandler said.
“They are almost as tall as me, they look me in the eye when they stand up and their expressions are always one of wonder, questioning everything.
‘They are some of the funniest birds on the planet and they really are just dinosaurs. I mean look at his feet, it looks like you drew a dinosaur foot and put it on a bird.

Bindi, who is the daughter of the late Australian icon Steve Irwin, agreed with her husband, saying she loves how dramatic the emus are.
‘They are like a soap opera. When you see emus, the way they communicate with each other, the dramas they have about who gets to get the last seed,” she explained.
“It’s really funny, but even though they’re wacky and hilarious, they’re incredibly solid.” They have to be one of the strongest animals in the animal kingdom, they can go through a huge drought and still survive.’
The happy couple tied the knot in 2020 and welcomed their first daughter, Grace Warrior, a year later.
