Emu breeding takes place in May and June, and fighting among females for a mate is common. The male does the incubation; during this process he hardly eats or drinks and loses a significant amount of weight. The eggs hatch after around eight weeks, and the young are nurtured by their fathers.

This is an unused real photo postcard of a woman riding a walleye fish statue like a horse.  She even has her cowboy hat up in the air!

I have seen other images of people riding this statue, but none with floral reins.
