Big Bird Cassowaries are some of the largest birds in the world And they have a style that’s all their own The black feathers on the birds bodies are pretty tame But their heads and necks can be quite colorful Red wattles on their necks add another pop of color They top off the look with a ridge called a casque Casque Wattle 6
Cassowaries are flightless birds Their wings are too small to lift their big bodies off the ground 7
