Keep up the good work!

The bird I saw in Thailand was alone. I have pictures and video, if you're interested. All these laws and regulations that prevent people from raising animals in hopes of protecting them is actually killing them. It makes me sick.

You are absolutely right, there are many species that is illegal to own, or if we do own them we have to have all kinds of USDA permits, and allow them to come randomly inspect our holdings when ever they like. Mean while, Zoos aren't successful in breeding them, and they are dying out in the wild.

You have to be crazy to want cassowaries. They are extremely aggressive and dangerous. Even more so than emu.

Raptor! S.E. is alive (if not so well . . . ) Hope you are well.

Tee hee . . . I don't think of emus as aggressive as all.

Have seen four wild/tame-wild matings this season. Number One, one of the 2009 chicks, is under the lilly pilly tree by the house this minute.

I don't think of emus as aggressive. But my dad does. I am actually planning to get an emu.
