24-year-old vlogger from the U.K., Charlotte Harrison was gifted an emu egg from eBay for £25 ($31), and after caring for it for 47 days in an incubator, it hatched.
But unlike a Tamagotchi, it turns out emus have a plethora of needs -- not necessarily met by domestic life in England.

Other videos show Kevin munching on some broccoli, eating carrots and playing with children.
But according to Daily Mail, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) paid Harrison a visit and after officers from the charity explained that her home wasn't an appropriate place for an emu, she voluntarily handed over the bird.
They can, after all, grow up to 165 centimetres (65 inches) tall and can weigh up to 60 kilograms (132 lbs). While it's not illegal to keep one as a pet in the U.K., it's not the smartest idea either.
Harrison told the news outlet she was upset when officers took the bird.
"I was hurt that someone tipped off the RSPCA because we’d created a lovely home for Kevin and had planned for when he got big -- we were treating him well and I’d done all my research," she said.
"It's so sad without Kevin, in the time he was with us, he was adored and became a real member of the family. I felt so protective of him and the kids loved him. I cried saying goodbye to Kevin."
"We received a call about the emu and went to speak to her," an RSPCA spokesperson told Broadly.
"During our officers' conversations with her they spoke about the different needs of an emu ... When our officer explained this to them, they realised they could not meet her needs and signed her over to us."
Fair enough, we guess.
UPDATE: Feb. 1, 2017, 1:33 p.m. AEDT An RSPCA spokesperson confirmed that the emu was voluntarily signed over to the organisation.
