I just can’t resist putting up one more photo – over the past two weeks we have had a number of sightings of this beautiful bird. She appears to be coming in daily to forage on whatever fruit is on the ground.
WILD WINGS & SWAMPY THINGS
Now that our major restoration projects are complete we are taking more time to simply enjoy the privilege of living in such a beautiful, peaceful and endlessly interesting area. While there are always a few maintenance tasks the work is not onerous and we can take time out to enjoy our walking tracks as well as to sit and simply look around. It is immensely rewarding to observe the growth in the vegetation, watch trees mature and to delight in the variety and number of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish and insects both residing on and visiting the property.-

I wouldn’t mind seeing a lot more photos of this bird, please! It’s just great that it is still wondering around your place. (For your enjoyment) there is a yard a little way from my house which has life-sized garden ornaments of a family of these birds – male, female and chicks – standing prominently in the front yard!
This is the Cassowary Conservation website of C4 based in Mission Beach.
