Do cassowaries have wings

Answer 1

Despite having wings (as all birds do), cassowaries cannot fly. Cassowaries are large, heavy, Flightless Birds. They are related to a group of birds called ratites. Other ratites include the emu of Australia, the kiwi from New Zealand, the ostrich from Africa and the rhea from South America.

Ratites have wings but the bones in their chests do not have the capacity for flight muscles, which is what a bird needs to fly. The cassowary weighs between 50 and 60 kg on average, and its wings are too small by comparison to lift it.

Answer 2

Yes, there is a bird called the cassowary.

There are 3 species of cassowary which live in Australia and New Guinea.

The Southern cassowary lives in the rainforests of coastal northern Queensland, Australia, as well as in tropical rainforests of Papua New Guinea, and the Aru and Seram Islands. It is found in Cape York, in the vine forests of Lockerbie and McHenry Uplands, the vine forests of the McIlwraith and Iron Ranges, and in the Wet Tropics, from Big Tableland, south of Cooktown to Paluma, north of Townsville.

The Northern cassowary, or Golden-neck Cassowary, is found in the tropical rainforests of Papua New Guinea and Irian Jaya on the island of New Guinea.
