Welcome back to The Storytelling Podcast, and today, we're heading to the vast, sun-baked landscape of Western Australia to witness a conflict so bizarre, it sounds like a comedy sketch.

But I assure you, this story is completely true. It’s a tale of an army, a flock of birds, and a war that was lost before it even began.

This is the unbelievable story of the Great Emu War of 1932, in all its fascinating and ridiculous detail.
