In the public imagination, Birds are usually considered harmless. They flap, scatter, and populate parks and telephone wires. Even when they irritate, they rarely inspire genuine fear. This intuition is broadly correct. Most birds cannot kill a human being, and those that can seldom do.

Few animals illustrate this better than the cassowary, a bird that looks prehistoric, behaves unpredictably and turns out to be far more entangled with human civilisation than its reputation suggests.
