‘I need help saving my emu, Emmanuel. I will pay to fly anyone to us, if they can help, no questions asked.’
Although Bindi was not able to provide too much support she was able to send her love and hope to the farm, she said: ‘Thank you so much for reaching out.
‘Though our Wildlife Hospital which has treated over 100,000 animals including emus, we have never treated an emu with this particular disease.

‘We will need to rely on our fellow animal experts with more experience with this avian flu.’
Bindi continued: ‘Our hearts are with you and we appreciate that you care so deeply and have such compassion for darling Emmanuel.
‘We believe that all of us need to have love for each and every individual animal.
In earlier tweets Taylor explained to her followers that the cause of the epidemic was from wild Egyptian Geese which had flown into the farm one night infecting their birds
‘We hope that someone who has greater experience in their area can be of assistance. Sending love and light your way from our entire family’
