Happy Cassowary Day ๐Ÿ˜€

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 7 points 1 month ago

Here is my photo of a cassowary from Perth Zoo

In honour of such an important day I share the one photo I managed to take of my own close encounter with a cassowary many years ago.

Leaves.  Mostly leaves.

I like that when cooking them you have to place a stone in the pot, and when the stone is ready to eat so is the cassowary.
