Especially considering the killer cass was in Florida. I guess the victim was keeping it as a pet or something. From what I know these birds aren't carnivores, but their talons combined with their strength are dangerous enough to disembowel somebody with a single blow.

I live on the Cassowary Coast and a lot of the road signs and Big Things here are cassowary-related. We drive slow here so we don't hit them, you often see them moving about in families with the smaller chicks. Despite that dangerous streak, their nature can tend to be librarian-shy though.

Silent Member Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) Saw some pigeons, sparrows, magpies and seagulls today, same as any day. Birds. Forgot blackbird. Saw that as well. Same as any day. Probably saw some ducks as well, can't remember. Blackbird has a better singing voice so that's ok. Birds.

Limo Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 It just takes practice. Practice and patience and then after a while you’ll see birds you never noticed before. Which then turn out to be marked as “very common” in your birding guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingformung Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) Stalking birds is fun. There are a lot of large grey herons standing in the flat river waters fishing, in the middle of the city. I'm always fascinated when such big animals haven't been exterminated yet. Probably because there isn't much meat on them Edited July 8, 2020 by dingformung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because there isn't much meat on them Apparently hunting and subsequently eating herons used to be a thing. Mary of Burgundy came to an untimely end when she fell off her horse during a heron hunting party. Personally I consider the heron to be God’s finest creation, especially the white variety (which are called egrets in English). Thanks to the miracle of climate change these are becoming more and more common over here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
