We had a couple of visitors the other day
Daddy Cassowary and his young chick, not old enough to have stripes yet, came visiting.They came out of the billabong and right up to our front fence.
The chick was very inquisitive of the pallets we had next to the fence.
We kept a respectful distance, those vicious claws are not to be taken lightly.
The other day he attacked a car in the caravan park because the chick was underneath it and he believed the car had eaten his chick.
Yes, HE. He makes the nest, the female lays the eggs and then takes off leaving him to sit on the eggs and raise the chicks.
He used to have 2 chicks but someone's dog got one of them :C
