Also stay away from their wings. Cassowaries can’t fly; their wings are rather short and stubby for their size, and more fat than muscle. But each one does have a claw.

Cassowaries are getting a bum rap. What's not to love?

So regal!



They also lay greenish-tealish colored eggs. Perfect for Easter.

The 8 acre aviary in Salt lake City has Cassowaries.
The horn like thing is a sound amplifier of a type the dinosaurs had.
I recommend the aviary if you get near SLC.

Of course if you had an emu you'd have to worry about unwanted sex.

Well, as someone who has actually been pecked by an emu, I'll say they're not cuddly.
