The Great Emu War of 1932; otherwise informally known as Bird War One.
As Major Meredith, commander of two regiments worth of veterans of the Royal Australian Artillery, had put it: "If we had a military division with the bullet-carrying capacity of these birds it would face any army in the world. They could face machine guns with the invulnerability of tanks." Apparently the Emu's were natural guerrilla fighters and riddling them with bullets from a Lewis Machine Gun on the back of a truck hardly did diddly squat against them.

Those Emu's had the advantage of numbers, god dammit...
