Winners of a 1932 Australian "war" (4)

I believe the answer is:

emus

(Other definitions for emus that I've seen before include "Aussie birds" , "Large flightless birds of Australia" , "Fast, but not high-fliers" , "Largest native Australian birds" , "Muse about flightless Australian birds" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
