Who Is Taylor Blake On Tiktok: Taylor Blake’s video of his pet emu, Emmanuel, went viral on the app TikTok. Here’s everything you need to know about the two of them and the sad news that Emmanuel has avian flu.
TikTok can make almost anything famous on the internet, like dances, dogs, make-up, and even water bottles. But right now, it’s the emus, especially Emmanuel the Emu, who are getting all the attention.
Who Is Taylor Blake On Tiktok?
Taylor owns Knuckle Bump Farms in South Florida. She often posts videos of the animals on Instagram for her 2.4 million followers to see.
Even though the South Florida farm is known as a mini-cow hobby farm, which is cute, you might also see Emmanuel the Emu or a deer wandering around.
Many of Blake’s TikTok videos, which now have over 46 million likes, are about how Emmanuel photobombs her posts and interacts with other animals on the farm. Because of her popularity, she has also been on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon.
Emmanuel, on the other hand, is the real star because he can’t help but be interested in the camera. Blake can’t even finish a sentence before the bird walks into the frame, which makes her yell, “Don’t do it, Emmanuel!” If you don’t stop him, he’ll keep pecking at her and the camera.
Blake and Emmanuel are well-known because of what they do on the farm, but Blake has gone viral before. She had been on Instagram since 2013, and she became well-known when she asked a Taco Bell worker to sleep over with her.
Emmanuel the Emu Avian Flu
Blake recently told the sad news that Emmanuel, a popular TikTok star, had gotten sick with avian flu.
In a long Twitter thread, Blake said that the virus has already killed more than 50 birds at the South Florida farm. She said, “We lost more than 50 birds in three days. I’m still trying to figure out what happened. When Emmanuel unexpectedly died last Wednesday, we thought we were out of the woods.
Since the H5N1 bird flu started spreading in the US in February, it has killed more than 45 million birds, according to the Department of Agriculture.
Since he got sick, Emmanuel’s right leg and foot have nerve damage. Blake posted a picture to Twitter of her helping Emmanuel start physical therapy with a homemade sling, and the big bird was also learning to walk again.
It looks like Emmanuel could get better, which is good news.
Yesterday, Taylor posted a picture of him and wrote, “Hi friends! I sat up all by myself for 10 minutes today! I did it even though it was hard. I am getting stronger every day! My moms surrounded me with lots of soft things so I wouldn’t hurt myself as I learned to walk again. Thank you for your prayers, they’re helping”.
