Re: Australian Trivia Only
Emu is a bird, not a mammal. 
OED says a mammal is a “warm-blooded vertebrate distinguished by the possession of hair or fur.”
Feathers don’t cut it.
Sorry. Close, but no cigar.

Re: Australian Trivia Only
Dottie,
OED says a mammal "usually" suckles its young. Also cautiously says "predominantly" gives birth to live young... obviously keeping Australia in mind.
But the distinguishing features of all mammals are warm blood and hair or fur.
