Is the cassowary a real bird?

cassowary

Yes, it is. Honestly. It’s one of those Australian animals that you feel like you would have heard about if it had lived in Africa, but which is afforded a low profile through living in a barren land inhabited by sexists in vests.

They can grow to be 2m tall, can jump 1.5m into the air and they can’t fly. They have a big dagger claw in the middle of each foot and they use them to kick the shit out of people.

If you want to eat one, it is apparently quite tough. Aussie advice is to cook it with a stone in the pot.

“When the stone is ready to eat, so is the Cassowary.”
