Chick of ‘world’s most dangerous’ bird hatches at Cotswolds bird park

The proud parents of the new chick, a male from Avifauna in Alphen, Netherlands, and a female from Frankfurt, Germany, have been at Birdland since 2012 and are part of the European Endangered Species Programme.

Before 2021, the hatching of Cassowary chicks in the UK was relatively rare.

Cassowaries are challenging to breed in captivity due to their specific environmental and behavioural needs.

The male incubates the eggs for up to two months and looks after the hatchlings.

Once the chicks hatch, the male leads them to his regular feeding grounds, protecting them for up to 16 months.
