Northern Cassowary (Casuarius unappendiculatus) , Female

Pretty shabby looking display for such a rare species. I hope they're in the new bird park
 
@noobmaster69 this is a new import, and with the bird park closing down I think they're just trying to use every bit of space they can to be retrofitted to house the new arrivals. I don't even think they're meant to be seen by the public, as there was a cover hiding this species' holding space for quite some time.
 
I've seen one out in the adjoining exhibit space once. I think the exhibit might not be secure enough or there's a risk they could peck at visitors, so they mostly stay in the holding pens. The pair originated from Avilon Zoo in the Philippines by the way.
