“He was doing what he loved,” she said, adding that she did not want to talk anymore.
"The cassowary can slice open any predator or potential threat with a single swift kick. Powerful legs help the cassowary run up to 31 miles per hour (50 kilometers per hour) through the dense forest underbrush.”
“It looks like it was accidental. My understanding is that the gentleman was in the vicinity of the bird and at some point fell. When he fell, he was attacked,”

So true, one can’t blame the animal.
“A .22 >1000 fps air rifle with “destroyer” pellets will do the trick.”
Illegal here. And I don’t really want it dead. I just want it gone.
Thanks though.

Cassowarys are literally Hitler.
I have an RWS-54; be prepared to dig.
Also,I have a heavily wooded area adjacent to me.
Anything left there in the evening is gone by morning.
The RWS-54 is incredible!
I used to have off-hours access to the rec center next to the Roselle airport.
We could shoot AIR rifles, no powder burners.
100 YARDS+ inside!!!!
WHAT A BLAST! hit a tincan (from a rest).
Pull the trigger and wait... can jumps...wait... then you hear the sound of the hit. A very noticeable delay.
On my own chronograph some lighter pellets over 1,000 FPS muzzle. Heavy pellets tended to be more accurate and slower. ~600 FPS.
And not much noise.
“Also,I have a heavily wooded area adjacent to me.”
Us too. DuPage FPD on three sides within a couple of miles. West Branch, Mallard Lake, and Pratt’s Wayne. But it’s illegal to release anything into them. Big fine if you get caught.
“I used to have off-hours access to the rec center next to the Roselle airport.“
Sweet. A wile back I had access to that gun club at North Ave and County Farm. It’s tucked away back there. .22 rifles, single shot only. Nice club but not our thing.
“The RWS-54 is incredible!”
I just found an old Daisy pump in the back of my closet. Totally forgot I had it. The seals were shot so I ordered a new piston kit. Just got here yesterday. I’ll swap it out next week. I don’t really want to kill it. I just want it to move on.
Enjoy this snowy Sunday.

He shoulda stuck to swans ...
Unsure about swans, but geese will beat you up.
While riding my bicycle through a local wetland, I was attacked... more than a few black/ blue marks.
My brother worked for NATO servicing missile sites, he said, lots of wire and geese.
You wait for the local to move the geese or you will regret it.
Looks like that was the birds intention in post #14, too.
