According to Wikipedia:
The Emu War, also known as the Great Emu War, was a nuisance
wildlife management military operation undertaken in Australia over the latter
part of 1932 to address public concern over the number of emus said to be
running amok in the Campion district of Western Australia. The unsuccessful
attempts to curb the population of emus, a large flightless bird indigenous to
Australia, employed soldiers armed with Lewis guns—leading the media to adopt
the name "Emu War" when referring to the incident. While a number of
the birds were killed, the emu population persisted and continued to cause crop
destruction.
