@RajaJayasinghe They are amazing animals and each and every one of them is different and magnificent. I am fortunate to have seen so many of them in the wild!

@julia393n Hi Julia, cassowaries get a bad reputation because dummies and heroes want to make them look savage. I have encountered many wild cassowaries and have never been attacked or felt threatened. Give them respect, give them their space and they will usually work their way around you. This is exactly what this bird did. This track was less than a car width wide and I was standing between this Cassowary and a food tree it was walking to. Rather than harass me it simply went around me,
