It’s not like animals are allowed inside the Australian pub. This pub in Queensland has placed a notice on its door that emus are no longer welcome in their establishment. The owners of the pub even instructed their patrons to go through the “emu barrier”! But what made The Yaraka Hotel go through such measures? The answer comes in the form of two particular emus, named Carol and Kevin, as Oddee details:
It’s too bad then that Carol and Kevin seem unable to behave themselves at the local watering hole. Gerry Gimblett, owner of the Yaraka Hotel, said that she was left no other choice but to banish the birds.
“They’ve been stealing things from the guests, especially their food. They’d stick their heads in and pinch toast out of the toaster,” Gimblett bemoaned to the Guardian.
But the main reason the birds are no longer welcome is their leavings.
“They’re enormous, very large and very smelly, and they created great stains,” said Gimblett. “We love them as part of the Yaraka community, but they’re not welcome inside anymore.”
