Cassy Calendar: Jan-Mar

This is the time when you’ll spot adult male cassowaries with their big, curious young by their sides, while the females tend to be more independent and on their own. Cassowaries are on the move, taking advantage of the season’s abundance of fruit in the forest. They’re not picky eaters—besides fruit, they might munch on insects, snails, small animals, fungi, and even bits of soil or old droppings to keep their stomachs full.
