what kind of info are you actually after? keeping aus parrots as pets, wild populations, mutations, general appearance, feeding, habitat? what?
 
Emu is very oily, for taste you are better off going with Wood Duck.

Interesting facts:
Mt druitt sub species are often observed laying flat on their backs in what I assume is some sort of display ritual. They can often be found in flocks around clubs, pubs & inns. This species is also prone to neglecting their offspring in order to find a mate, although the ritual of the relationship is polygamous & lasts a mere 12 hour cycle. Some have evolved to semi monagamy where they spend a brief period with a male before evicting him from the nest he built and inviting a new mate to join her in her new comforts.

Don't know much about other sub species, but that gives an idea of locality extremes between them lmao.
 
very funny amazonian, from what i have seen that species has spread quite considerably.
cheers:)
