An Afrikaner man had his braai interrupted when his pet emu tried to steal his meat off the grill. However, the bird's actions aren't what startled social media users, but more so, who it was named after.

On 20 September, 2025, TikTok user @geduldauction, a parrot rescuer, shared on his account that he was braaing sausages. While one half of the casing was filled with pap, the other half was stuffed with mince. He also had normal sausages on the grill, which the emu attempted to take as a snack.

Apart from the emu, the Afrikaner also had a donkey and panned his camera to the animal behind him. When he turned back to the grill, the emu was still on a mission to grab the food and went for the pap and wors. For both attempts, the food fell on the floor, but that didn't stop the man from putting it back on the heat.

After the second try, the man shouted at the emu:

"Hitler, move it! No, my pap and wors. Move!"

The viral video garnered millions of views since its publication, with thousands of social media users taking to the comment section, stunned to hear the flightless bird's name.
