Southern cassowary in Islands

Female. The gate leads to the male's enclosure. Islands, Chester, 18th July 2015.
Are these enclosures significantly bigger? They look very well planted.

They are thickly planted, so thickly that I think there will need to be quite a lot of pruning done if the birds are to be visible next year. They look to me as if they are rather smaller than the enclosures that they came from (which were originally built for cheetahs - I put a photo in the Gallery at the same time as this one), but cassowaries are not particularly active.
