Au birds. The Cassowary.

I will do you a short story on the cassowary, the emu, the kookaburra and the most interesting bird, the lyrebird and perhaps others that I think maybe of interest.
The cassowary is a big bird, nearly as big as the emu or ostrich and lives in the Northern Australian and New Guinean rain forests. It is shy and not often seen. However if threatened they do get aggressive and are dangerous. Apparently a number of people do get attacked doing such silly things as trying to feed them or get close up photographs. They can weigh up to 100pound and like ostriches, emus and kiwis are flightless. They have powerful legs and can make 30mph. Their diet is fallen tropical fruit and small creatures such as frogs, but prefer the former. Their call is really just a low frequency vibration coming mainly from their body, or so I am told. No not a garden variety bird. I have seen only 3, altogether in one mob. Would I say a flock.?
