emu egg
Australian bird's offspring
An emu egg is the egg of an emu, the large flightless bird native to Australia.
These eggs are notable for their size—roughly equivalent to a dozen chicken eggs—and their distinctive dark greenish-blue shell.
Prized by crafters for carving and decorative work, they're also edible: We made an omelet from a single emu egg.
