I stumbled upon your write up about the male cassowary at Cassowary House in Kuranda.I lived in the cabin next to Cassowary House for 6 months back in 1989 and remember a very close encounter with a male cassowary as I made my way down the overgrown, windy track to the front door to let myself in. It was in the nick of time too, as this male was quite protective of his brood of three, as I remember. Could this beautiful male bird you have now, be one of the babychicks that I encountered back then?
Food for thought..
Sad to hear of feral animals continuing to be a problem in that beautiful area. Remembering a case with a wild pig gashing the leg of a cyclist! along Black Mtn Rd.
