Male southern cassowary and smaller young.

Those huge feet are so cute on this youngster. How they develop in an egg as a marvel of evolution.

Southern Cassowary increase

Etty Bay is usually pretty reliable for southern cassowary viewing ....they are wild birds but regularly come down to the beach and wander around the campers ....I'd not seen any young before and was sad a couple years back when I heard a young one was killed by a vehicle. Just arrived on the...

Southern Cassowary - you guys are not very good at strip poker..

Killed myself laughing at this scene. It is a wild cassowary that often brings its little one down to Ettie Bay Australia. Fearless.

SUch a handsome fellow ...Southern Cassowary

There is a small group of cassowaries that call this beach home and come wandering in on occasion with young and interact with the campers at Etti Bay I have some hilarious shots of them interacting with innocent picknickers. :D

cassowary feeding

Another shot of the southern cassowary but more of a close up so you can see the amazing red and blue wattles. Its about to gobble up a blue berry. They eat huge amounts of fruit and berries.

female cassowary

What a weird, wonderful and huge bird. The southern cassowary is found in Australia and New Guinea. Not a lot of them left in Aussie and all in a small part of Northern Queensland. A rainforest bird, flightless, fruit eater, territorial and can be aggressive. Not the greatest photo but it...

Southern Cassowary Adult with Juvenile AUSLA SER

This adult, probably a male (comments anyone?) because it is the sex that is said to raise the young, had three juveniles with it. The owners of the Cassowary House put fruit out at the edge of the forest behind the House to attract this and other creatures. Under the dark conditions, it was...

Southern Cassowary

Near Cape Tribulation are still 60-70 of these birds. Most of the times I chase the birds to get a picture. Unfortunately, after I had taken one photo, this bird chased me. Jack

Southern Cassowary chick. Camilla arrived around a month after Cylone Larry. She had been abandoned by her dad and was around 6 months old. She was very very thin and small for her age. We began a Parks & Wildlife approved feeding program with her and managed to save her life. She still lived...
