Cassowary egg shell

[casuarius]

I have a very rare Cassowary eggshell for sale. It has one small hole in the end, has been drained and cleaned. There are probably less than 50 of these birds left in the US, and eggs are hard to come by.

just being nosy and wondering how did you get one with them being so rare?
what are they anyways?

 

[greenfamilyfarms]

They are a member of the ratite family, I believe (like an Emu).

 

[agnes_day]

ahhh...well..ive heard emus are horribly mean, is that true?

 

[agnes_day]

oh man, i just looked up a picture..those things are evil looking!

 

[casuarius]

I breed Cassowaries, yes they are very rare. Emu's are the most Docile of the Ratites by the way, they get very tame, and its extremely rare one will ever try to attack you, and even if they do, they only go as far as you let them...they are big whimps, and are all bark and no bite. Rheas are the second most docile, but the males can get extremely aggressive.

 

[agnes_day]

are these eggs that just didnt hatch then?

 

[casuarius]

Yes, just this one. It was infertile.

Cassowaries are neat looking birds, but the wild ones can kill people! Don't know about the 'domesticated' ones, as I've never seen one close up enough.

they look evil...i want one to torment the neighbors.
