Shocking footage has captured a young boy throwing sticks at an emu after climbing into a zoo enclosure.
The video, shared to Facebook and Instagram, shows a boy wearing a red hoodie climb into the enclosure fence and taunting a bird at Alexandra Park Zoo in Bundaberg, Queensland.
He throws whatever he can get his hands on at the animal, which appears to get hit as it tries to move its neck to dodge the attacks.
'Run at it, run at it, run at it,' said the person recording as they giggled at the trespasser waving his hat to aggravate the emu.
After its had enough, the emu charges at the boy to scare him out of the enclosure.

The video has been deleted after being posted to Instagram and shared by over a 100 people on Facebook.
Police are looking at security footage to get a better picture of the offenders and find out when the attack occurred.
The offenders could be charged with trespassing, according to police.
Police were called to the same zoo last month after a donation box was stolen.
In 2009, a man was fined $7000 for animal cruelty and killing an emu at Alexandra Park Zoo.
