  • Aussies Now On The Lookout For Cassowaries

    Just when our Australian friends thought that it was safe enough to come out and begin picking up their lives again, another potential deadly threat is poised to strike. This time it’s an aggressive avian, the Cassowary, which may take to wandering urban streets after being displaced by floodwaters.

    If you haven’t heard of this bird before then you’re in for a treat. The Cassowary holds the Guinness World Record for being the most dangerous bird on the planet. How does one measure danger? Is it the threat of danger, or is this the kind of record measured by results, like number of eye-gouges per bird, or something? To quote Time NewsFeed: “Enough said.”

    And it certainly isn’t often that you read this about a bird. “The government is scheduling food drops for the cassowaries to keep them contained to their habitat.”

    On the upside, there are only 1 000 Cassowaries left in the wild, so Bruce need not brace himself for a full scale bird apocalypse.

    On the downside, if you do bump in to a Cassowarie you’ll be dealing with a poor-tempered, 60-something kilogram bird with five inch talons, which it has has a penchant for striking at the abdominal region of bipeds. In other words, this bird does not take shit.

    Do not hand-feed.
