Baby cassowaries at The Canopy
Tui returns with two new chicks
Tui the cassowary has returned to The Canopy with two baby chicks! Tui calls our rainforest home, and his annual return is always a very special occasion for us.
The two new chicks help make up a population of less than 1,500 cassowaries believed to exist in the wild.
The cassowary is a very special bird essential to the biodiversity of the Wet Tropics rainforest, so we are very proud of Tui's efforts to maintain their population. You can read more about them on the website of the Wet Tropics Management Authority.
We have posted photos of Tui and his chicks on our Facebook site. And if you visit The Canopy in the coming months you will meet them firsthand before they move on for the next mating season. |
