They've actually stated that they plan to add Ostriches already whenever the Savanna update goes through. Perhaps Emus (and Cassowaries!) could be an alternate skin for Ostriches that spawn in certain biomes (rare spawn in Plains for Emu, Jungle for Cassowary). I don't think they'd have enough going on to be a fully distinct creature but just having multiple ratite skins would be fine by me
Maybe we could use Emu's for new experiences and companions on survival, or a zoo for creative! It would just be amazing to have Emu's in minecraft.
