In 1932, Australia declared war on emus when nearly 20,000 birds began destroying farms across Western Australia; the government sent soldiers armed with machine guns to eliminate them, but the emus scattered and escaped whenever soldiers approached, ultimately defeating the military effort in what is remembered as the Great Emu War.

Australia Declared War On Birds... And LostAdded:
Australia once declared war on birds and lost.
No, seriously.
In 1932, nearly 20,000 emus began destroying farms across Western Australia.
So, the government sent soldiers armed with machine guns to wipe them out.
It sounded easy.
But whenever the soldiers got close, the emus scattered and escaped.
Thousands of rounds were fired. The emus kept winning.
Eventually, the military gave up.
The birds stayed.
Today, it's remembered as the Great Emu War.
The war Australia somehow lost to birds.
