The emu is Dromaius Novaehollandiae or “fast-footed New Hollander” (New Holland was the original European term for Australia.)
Oh, and a Hylocichla Mustelina is a Wood Thrush.

Another Take over 5 years ago
Alt Script: 1- SLUGGO: Zoos make me sad. NANCY: Why? 2- SLUGGO: Well look at those poor birds in those tiny enclosures… 3- SLUGGO: They make me feel like I’m just a bird in a gilded cage. The fancy trappings of my life provide me with no real freedom. NANCY: They make me want fried chicken for dinner.

When did Sluggo start talking like he was from the ’hood?

What I don’t understand is why Ernie didn’t use a real bird with a real funny sounding name, like a chestnut-backed chickadee, instead of making one up.

The closest you can get to a dinosaur on 2-legs are birds; such as emus, cassowary and ostrich.
