The world s most dangerous murder bird has flown into New York and you can see him up close and personal.
The Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, New York is home to Kevin, a Cassowary bird, that is native to Australia. The young bird is yellow & brown but park owner Jordan Patch says one he ages, he will develop black plumage and a blue head, red neck, and a large casque on the head.

Kevin may not look very dangerous. It s his feet you have to worry about. Cassowary birds have three-toed feet with sharp claws, one quite dagger-like, reaching over five inches long. Park owner, Jordan, cautiously calls them murder birds, noting the species requires and deserves immense respect and caution when working with them. It s these claws and powerful legs that give the Cassowary their well deserved and intimidating title.
If you re freaked out by the birds you see everyday when you re out and about, then great news (maybe not)!. The world s most dangerous bird now has a new home in the Southern Tier!
Things keep evolving at Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville. Earlier this year, they welcomed many new animals including their second Bactrian camel calf. On a sad note, if you missed it, April the Giraffe was euthanized on April 2nd because of arthritis issues, just shy of her 21st birthday.
In honor of April and Azizi (April s calf), Animal Adventure Park recently built a memorial to honor them and they can t wait for you to see it. So what s new at the zoo.I mean at the park?
