"It has been one
of those days," Round Rock police spokeswoman Angelique Myers
said.
The owner apparently has been identified but police are still
not sure how the emus made their way to streets in the city of
about 110,000 people, she said.
"These animals are considered feral fowl. If you see an emu, do
not feed it or try to contain it. These animals can be very
dangerous. They are considered wildlife and should be left
alone," Round Rock police wrote on their Facebook page.
Police have set up roadblocks to corral the animals, or steer
them away from places where people are.
