Sydney Zoo has been alerted to a resident jewellery thief - a brazenly confident emu named Bert, who has made his presence known after snatching a woman's $550 earring.
Known mostly to eat seeds, fruit and small lizards, this emu decided to shake it up with a vegetable breakfast consisting 24 carats.
Bert lured in the victim with a prized selfie opportunity before snapping at her ear and gobbling up her shiny Tiffany & Co piece.
Bert was then seen bolting to another area of the enclosure at the Western Sydney Parklands facility.
"You can see him eyeing my earring out," Ashna Ali said on A Current Affair. "I sat down and as I finished clicking, he just grabbed it, grabbed my ear, I felt a peck. That could have been my daughter's eye."
