Long-necked running birds (4)

I believe the answer is:

emus

(Other definitions for emus that I've seen before include "Muse about flightless Australian birds" , "Largest native Australian birds" , "Aussie birds" , "Large flightless birds of Australia" , "Running birds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
