The booming sound a cassowary makes is the lowest known call of any bird and is right at the edge of human hearing.
The name cassowary seems to be of Papuan origin. “Kasu” means horned, and “weri” means head, referring to the bird’s casqued or helmeted head.
Some people in New Guinea believe that cassowaries are reincarnations of female ancestors, while others believe that the cassowary was the first mother.
The first cassowary arrived in Europe in 1597 for the collection of Emperor Rudolf II (sandiegozoo.org).
