Hi guys and welcome to the Cassowary Conservancy of North America!
We are home to the largest collection of captive cassowaries in the US, and the ONLY KNOWN facility to house Northern Cassowary!
Come hang out inside the Cassowary enclosures, cut fruits, feed, and hang out with the cassowaries while we witness never before seen footage! All while taking care of the cassowaries that call our facility home!

Just gorgeous and fascinating birds! Thank you for showing them just as they are. Not pets. Rather pugnacious. Absolutely worth protecting and saving for future generations! ❤
@@cassowaryconservancy I think probably the reason why male Southern cassowaries have the job of incubating and raising is so the female's body can keep producing more eggs to be fertilized. Is it like that with all cassowary species the males have all of the parental duty?
Eggs go in the incubator for improved chance of hatch. Plus there are a lot of raccoons, they see good at night, the birds not so much! So the raccoons are able to steal eggs & chicks to eat!

The reason males have less cold damage could be that testosterone raises their ambient body temperature, so it takes more cold to get them to tissue damage levels of cold…. Poor birdies, I’m glad they’re in the warm
I wish they could be friendlier birds, I wouldn't mind setting up a habitat for one some day when I have more land. Right now I'm happy with the grumpy birds I am allowed to have, My geese.
Wow! So cool to see this process! I love seeing the chick emerging. Thank you for sharing about the tape. Didn't know that. I'm always learning something new about these magnificent birds from you! ❤
Easy to say, not so easy to do. It costs between $10,000 - $20,000 each enclosure, depending on cost of supplies and labor. We took in some additional cassowaries in need of sanctuary recently and are in need of funding for additional enclosures.
