It's September 26th, 🐦 World Cassowary Day. On this day, we celebrate and showcase this large, colorful, flightless, dinosaur-like bird and the efforts of conservationists who're working hard to protect them in their tropical rainforest habitats of Papua New Guinea and Australia. World Cassowary Day was created to draw international attention to why cassowaries are globally important and why they deserve our protection.
Cassowaries are a keystone species critical to the survival of the rainforests in which they live because they spread the seeds of the unique rainforest trees. By protecting their homes, we also protect the homes of many other unique and endangered animals including the tree kangaroo, spectacled flying fox (bat) and mahogany glider (possum) – not to mention many extremely ancient plants found nowhere else on the planet. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

Stay away from this crabby ass bird. That foot is absolutely prehistoric.

kind of amusing because the blue jay was already a bunch of triangles so he looks totally normal

What bird frightens you the most?
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain…

Remember to read about the contestants before voting!
Superb Fairy Wren
The Superb Fairy Wren is a little guy local to southern Australia! The females look much less fancy, but are still adorable. They even have a cute little dance they do to attract mates, using their beautiful feathers in a full dissolution. There are actually many different kinds of fairy wrens. Learn More!
Southern Cassowary
Everyone has heard tales of the Southern Cassowary. With long, gut-wrenching claws and an aggressive and territorial demeanor, the Cassowary is a very scary bird. However, their diet mainly consists of fallen fruit, and there actually are only two reported human deaths caused by cassowaries (one of these humans was trying to beat it to death with a stick). They also mainly attack or charge because of expecting food from humans after being fed by them for a while. Learn More!

Here’s a little cassowary family, enjoying some cassowary plums. I love putting together little compositions like this, surrounding animals with their native plants. This one is 7.5 inches square, watercolor and pen & ink.

Sure, Aussie magpies are scary when you get swooped, we've all been there. I've been there. But consider: you can befriend them. Whistle to imitate their song, slip them some delectable tidbits, and voila: you have new friends, who are birds. This is good.
Here's the secret: if you're careful and respectful and learn how to interact with them in a way that shows you're careful and respectful, you can befriend *any* bird on that list. Heck, any bird at all really. *this is not an endorsement for people just getting into birds' personal spaces or feeding wild birds or anything utterly ignorant and destructive along those lines
before y'all say impossible for cassowaries, I will remind everyone that they were tamed, domesticated, and reared as farm animals on Papua/Niugini/Niu Gini/New Guinea

Cassowary's can run up to 31mph and attack with a with slashing blows of its feet, as the innermost of its three toes bears a long daggerlike nail

Meanwhile, on a N. Queensland, Australia beach: OMG, this cassowary commandeered this family's beach umbrella and he's eating their lunch. In the top photo you can see he's eating a grape and in the bottom, he's totally unperturbed as they stand around waiting.

Beachgoers have a close encounter with a Cassowary. Sesame Street didn't prepare this poor woman for her meeting with a Big Bird.
Bird's like, what 'cha got there? let me check it out, swipe right, I'm out...
