Adopt a cassowary

Adopt a Cassowary

 

Scientists believe that there are less than 1200 cassowaries currently in the wild in Australia.  Listed as endangered under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 these magnificent birds continue to be threatened by loss of habitat, roads and traffic, dogs and hunting and natural disasters.

You can help us secure a home for future generations of cassowaries by adopting one of the few remaining birds and supporting Operation Big Bird.

Where your money will go

Your adoption of “Archie” or “Zelda” will provide funds for:

  • Buying cassowary habitat
  • Revegetating key corridors
  • Establishing pest free sanctuaries for research and possible breeding
  • And eventually release of the birds into the wild.

How does it work?

The cost of adopting a cassowary is $1,000 and is tax deductible.

  • We will issue you with an adoption certificate in the name of the cassowary you are helping to save.
  • We will present you with a beautifully carved wooden cassowary to commemorate your help (pictured).
