Cassowary indoor area

August 2009

Do cassowary's need an indoor area here? Even at Melbourne which is far further south only has under cover areas but no real indoors.

I imagine this is for management - lock the cassos away while cleaning the yard, and for added security at night. Also, the cassos may prefer to be inside amongst the palms and ferns for part of the day as the outdoor area is just a grass yard with a tree or two.

Do many collections have indoor exhibits for cassowary as opposed to being viewed in door (through glass)?
