Cassowary Tragedy


All the joy of the appearance of the latest batch of young cassowaries has suddenly come a cropper with Mr Cassowary showing up without any of his offspring. It seems some tragedy must have struck. Perhaps, the current drought was too much for the young chicks and they starved or they have met an early end at the hands of a goanna or python. Whatever, the entire clutch is gone and they will have to start again. Both the male and female Cassowary seem quite wary when they stop by.

Hi Dave
That's not a hint of sentimentality shining through your scientific shell of objectivity is it?

Sad outcome, I agree.
