There are two large, Flightless Birds in Australia: the emu and the southern cassowary.
The emu is endemic to the continent, whilst the southern cassowary is also found in New Guinea and the Aru Islands.
Emus have brown feathers, a blue neck and can grow to between 1.6 metres and 2 metres high, on average. They are the tallest native Australian bird, and the second tallest flightless bird in the world (after the ostrich).
The Souther Cassowary, though not as tall as the emu, tends to be heavier. Emus range between 30 and 45kg in weight, whilst the Southern Cassowary averages 38 - 48kg. Southern Cassowaries have blue faces and necks, a red nape and a large casque (pointy, hard projection on the top of their head).
