Happy reunion
When dad cassowary became separated from his three (three-month-old) chicks the other evening, his distress was awful. He ran about bellowing for his young to respond, but as the light faded, things looked very grim.
Occasionally dingoes are seen with cassowary chicks in their mouths, but the concurrent loss of three chicks was quite puzzling.
It was with great relief, at around midday the following day, that the reunited family paraded past our dwelling, stopping along the way to feast on fruit from the Alexandra Palm.
