The emu ended up behind the wildlife center, prompting the team to grab nets and large mats to corral the bird. <\/p>\n

The team collaborated with the emu’s owner to ensure the bird remained calm and did not wander into traffic. <\/p>\n

After nearly 30 minutes, the volunteers captured the emu using a large net. The bird dropped to the ground and sat quietly. <\/p>\n

Three volunteers kept the emu secured in the net and lifted it into a wheelbarrow to transport it to the owner’s truck. <\/p>\n

Raven Ridge Wildlife Center received a certificate of achievement and a stuffed emu as a token of appreciation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Escaped emu safely captured by wildlife center volunteers in Lancaster County LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. \u2014 Volunteers at Raven…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":841176,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[356113,356114,22326,17618,79,201],"class_list":["post-841175","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wildlife","tag-escaped-emu","tag-fled-its-pen","tag-lancaster-county","tag-raven-ridge-wildlife-center","tag-science","tag-wildlife"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=841175"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841175\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/841176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=841175"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=841175"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=841175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
