🌍🦩 Happy World Cassowary Day! 🎉
Today, let’s celebrate these incredible creatures and remind everyone to stay CASS-O-WARY! 🚦✨

🔹 Keep your distance: Cassowaries are unpredictable, and it’s best to observe from afar.
🔹 Respect the chicks: If you see chicks, the father is likely nearby and will defend them fiercely.
🔹 No feeding: It’s against the law and dangerous for both cassowaries and people.
🔹 Secure your waste: Use closed bins and make sure compost bins are secure to keep food away from cassowaries.
🔹 Drive safely: Slow down and be vigilant in cassowary territory—never stop to gawk at them on the road.
🔹 Keep dogs safe: Always keep dogs behind fences or on a leash.
🔹 If faced with an aggressive bird: Back away slowly and put something between you and the cassowary.

Let’s protect these magnificent animals and ensure their habitat thrives! For more info, visit Wet Tropics.

Stay safe and CASS-O-WARY! 💙🦩
