When C4 (Community for Coastal and Cassowary Conservation) was first founded, the team put up a statue of a male cassowary outside their office. A female cassowary then showed up, trying to “court” the male. She took his “rejection” rather personally.

“On the third day, (she) basically said, ‘Well, if you’re not going to mate with me, then you’re a competitor in my space,’ and proceeded to kick our poor old fiberglass cassowary and basically punctured it in the chest and beat it down.”

The repaired statue now lives in a safer space, inside the C4 office.

No, it's the cassowaries.

 

 

Steve Irwin was even scared of them.

Cassowarys need about a pound or two of C4 strapped to them!
