'Whether they're from across town or across the country, having eager guests at the gates to greet our animals and teams on Opening Day is all we could ask for.

Local stray emu finds forever home at Animal Adventure
HARPURSVILLE, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) -Animal Adventure Park has welcomed a new resident. Animal Adventure recently rescued a stray emu that had been seen roaming around Broome County. Animal Adventure says it has been receiving phone calls and emails about the bird since last summer. It had been spotted roaming around the area of Windsor and Harpursville. Many had assumed the bird had escaped from the park or preserve, but the birds at both facilities were accounted for. The emu was spotted on April 1 by neighbors of Cafferty Road and again the next day in a field off of Colesville Road. Park owner Jordan Patch and members of the animal care team responded and were able to successfully rescue and transport the emu, to be known as Lilith, to Animal Adventure. Animal Adventure thinks it is likely that the emu was kept and escaped from a local hobby farm, surviving the cold winter months. The emu is believed to have been drawn to the area of The Preserve Safari, in search of a male emu to mate with, which is typical behavior during the spring season. 'We are pleased there is a happy ending to this story. The emu is currently in quarantine, which is standard protocol for any new animal entering the facility,' said Patch. 'After quarantine and veterinary clearance, we look forward to Lilith joining her new feathered friends in our safari park – where she will get that 'date' with one of our males!'
