Podcasts about Cassowary

A new initiative has been launched by the Queensland Government, inviting Queenslanders to share their thoughts on a 10-year strategy that will guide investment and development in the lead-up to and beyond the Games. 4BC Drive has shared the listeners' suggestions, with Katter the Cassowary nominated as a potential Brisbane 2032 Olympic mascot. Minister for Sport, the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Tim Mander, told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive, "It's better than the ibis. It ranks higher than that." "One of the big issues is what the mascot will be. So I'll make sure that's in the mix," Minister Mander continued. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our SUGi Forest Maker Brett Krause grew up on a sawmill in Northern Queensland. Witnessing deforestation and the destruction of habitats, he was inspired to be part of the solution. Upon discovering the Miyawaki Method of creating rapid-growth biodiverse native forests, Brett set about on a mission to restore habitat for endangered species, like the extraordinary Cassowary and the Mahogany Glider.Since 2014, and with our support, he's been establishing biodiversity corridors in farm-degraded rural areas.In this episode of SUGi Talks, we'll speak about how he went from growing up on a sawmill witnessing deforestation, to now leading the way on Miyawaki Forest building in Northern Queensland.

The designer of 4BC Drive's 2032 Olympic Games mascot has provided an update on Katter the Cassowary. Robin Worship from Costume Designs by Robin on the Sunshine Coast told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive, "It's not the most comfortable thing to wear, but, it's certainly doable." "It came up a lot better than what I thought it was going to come up in the drawing," Mr Worship continued. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Bird is back, and we are back looking at a bird with a reputation for being the world's most dangerous. Maybe in a shock twist the bird with the badass reputation is a giant fruit eater from Papua New Guinea, the Cassowary. But is this reputation deserving? Well in this episode we will find out just how dangerous they are, but also what else makes them especially cool. To support Bird of the Week and gain access to our second podcast, What's up with that's Bird's Name? click on through to Patreon: www.patreon.com/birdoftheweekWant birds in your inbox?

I recently learned about a bird in the Australian rainforest called the Cassowary. If you google a picture you'll see that it is not to be messed with. It can fight off large predators, and even humans! A little known fact is that it plays a part in germinating the seeds of the rare Ryparosa … Continue reading Suffering can produce perseverance

Roaming the lush rainforests of Northern Queensland and Papua New Guinea, the Cassowary bird is a striking sight to behold. Resembling something like an exquisite dinosaur at 6 feet tall, this at-risk flightless bird is now in a fight for survival. As a keystone species, the Cassowary is facing endangerment due to the fragmentation of its habitat by development and industrial agriculture.  On this episode of SUGi Talks, we speak with SUGi Forest Maker Brett Krause.  Since 2014, with our support, Brett has been planting Miyawaki forests in Tropical North Queensland as a way to create habitats for endangered species like the Cassowary and the Mahogany Glider.  Together we'll speak about how he went from growing up on a sawmill witnessing deforestation, to now leading the way on Miyawaki forest building in Northern Australia.  Make sure you like and subscribe wherever you get podcasts for more SUGi Talks.

Summary: “You eat like a bird!” We're sure you've heard this before and may have even said it, but if you knew what we know, you'd probably never say it again! Join Cheryl and Kiersten as they talk about some of the strange things birds eat!   For our hearing impaired listeners, a transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean.   Show Notes: “Cassowaries: Crucial to Rainforest Ecology,” The University of Waikato, https:blog.waikato.ac.nz/bioblog/2009/12/cassowaries-crucial-to-rainfor/ www.allaboutbirds.org American Bird Conservancy, https://abcbirds.org Our email address, please reach out with comments, questions, or suggestions:  thefeathereddesert@gmail.com   Cheryl: Intro          Have you ever heard the expression “You eat like a bird.”  What did that really mean?  I personally never got it, but I heard many times.  If the person who coined that phrase really knew what birds ate, I don't think that it would have been said at the dinner table.  Today let's look at the weird things' birds eat and a little about how they do it.          So, there's the Phainopepla that consumes mistletoe berries, and a lot of them; this bird can do this because they have a specialized digestive tract to accommodate this particular berry.  Then there is the American Robin, that changes it digestive system to be able to adjust to the transition from protein-rich invertebrates in spring and summer to fruits and berries in winter.          Kiersten:  Worm-Eating Warbler This warbler is small, rather drab in color with a black and buffy head stripes on its flat head.  This flat head helps it to get into all the nooks and crannies of the forest floor where it consumes caterpillars and slugs, insect larvae but not earth worms like the name suggest.  This warbler has a beautiful song that helps it live up to the warbler part of its name even if its drab in color.          Cheryl: Shore birds and Sapsuckers          Birds like the Black-necked Stilt, and the American Avocet are shore birds that eat mollusks such as clams, oysters, snails, and slugs found in the muddy water along the edges of creeks, rivers, lakes, ponds and irrigated fields and agricultural fields.          Then there are birds that feed on the mucus of plants and trees, namely sap.  These birds are woodpeckers, waxwings, kinglets, and warblers which all have a component of sap/mucus in their diet.          Kiersten: Red-tail Hawk and Great Horned Owl          Rattlesnakes and Red-tail hawks, two very capable predators, but if an adult red-tail hawk locates a rattlesnake out in the open, it's a dead snake crawling.  Rattlesnakes are a favorite meal for this hawk.   Red-tail hawk doesn't sneak up on a rattlesnake, if it did that it would actually give the rattler the advantage.  Instead, the hawk flies down and perches right in front of the snake.  There by taking the lead in what is often called the “dance of death.” The hawk will fan out its feathers, exhibiting its 5 ft wing span. In response, the rattlesnake will rattle it's tail in a warning, and will puff up to look bigger and more formidable. This might work. If not, the hawk will then hop or walk around, essentially trying to divert the snake's attention. This will likely trigger the rattlesnake to snap open its mouth and display it 5-7” long fangs, and with the coiling motion, it will lunge forward. Then the hawk hops onto the snake and end the snake's life. Red-tail hawks don't eat the head of the snake therefore avoiding ingesting any venom. Great Horned Owls have excellent night vision and a poor sense of smell, which helps it deal with one of its favorite meals- skunk.  So, when you are out in the wilds of Great Horned Owl habitat and you smell skunk, but don't see one you could be in the area of a Great Horned Owl nest. Cheryl: Scott's Oriole and Western Tanager and the Cassowary          Scott's Oriole is a fruit eater, not only do these birds eat dagger cactus fruit, but also cultivated fruits such as apricots, peaches and figs.  The Western Tanager lives off of insects such as bees and wasps in the spring and summer.  Then in the winter months it will enjoy berries…all kinds like hawthorn, wild cherries, elderberries, blackberries, mulberries and service berries.          All the above-mentioned birds may be found in our state of Arizona, but there is one fruit eater that lives in Australia and Papua New Guinea, the Cassowary.  This bird is the third largest bird in the world with an adult standing up to six feet tall.  These birds live in the rainforests and are considered keystone species because of their role as a major seed dispenser of up to 238 rainforest plant species.  Over a 100 of these plants' species depend entirely on Cassowaries to dispense their seeds.          In some cases, cassowaries are the only bird to be able to digest the fruit of certain plants such as the Cassowary Plum.  This fruit contains a sap that is poisonous to humans and most other animals.          The Cassowary's unique digestive system which is short and fast,  to digest the fruit.  The Cassowary plum is an important food source for the Cassowary, and in turn the bird than distributes and helps germinate the seeds of the plant. Cheryl: Closing          Now doesn't this make you think twice about that old expression” You eat like bird”.  Really do you?

Author and bird enthusiast Ashley C. Ford says that it's good to have a list of at least five birds that you're scared of — like the six foot tall cassowary — just to keep you honest. “It's very important to humble yourself and to understand where you actually lie on the food chain,” she says. But despite the goose's mischievous reputation, she'd never have them on her list. “I grew up in the Midwest,” she says. “And I know personally I'm not scared of no goose.” Hear more of Tenijah Hamilton's conversation with her birding heroes, Ashley C.

The rainforests of Eastern and Northeastern Australia harbor many species of birds found almost nowhere else. This Eastern Whipbird — which is more often heard than seen — hangs out in the dense understory. Easier to lay eyes on is the large, pigeon-like Wompoo Fruit-Dove. Feathered in a stunning combination of green, purple, and yellow, this bird is clearly named for its voice. And a pig-like grunting on the forest floor tells us we're in the company of the Southern Cassowary. Its helmet — called a casque — makes it look as much like a dinosaur as any living bird.

The two most dangerous birds on the planet are probably taller then you: Ostrich and cassowary. Both member of the ratite clan. What's a ratite? Flightless birds (excluding the penguin of course). There are actually five ratite species: ostrich, cassowary, rhea, kiwi, and emu! But what makes them flightless? Why are they flightless? What's the point?Ostriches, the African giant flightless bird, could kill you easiest (especially compared to the kiwi) as they are the largest bird who have also been known to kill lions with a simple swing of their mighty backwards legs. Ostriches have a lot of danger about them.Cassowaries, although not as large as an ostrich, have killed a human. But they aren't as tall! They do have terrifying red eyes and a deep call that feels like they are ripping out your soul. But they live in the fun world of Northern Australia, New Guinea and surrounding islands!
