No, cassowaries do not feed their chicks milk. Unlike mammals, cassowaries are birds, and they do not produce milk. Instead, cassowary chicks are fed a diet of fruits, seeds, and small insects, which they find in their natural habitat. The mother cassowary provides protection and guidance to her chicks as they forage for food.

How do you milk a penguin?
Penguins do not produce milk, as they are birds and do not lactate like mammals. They regurgitate partially digested food to feed their chicks.
Do both mom and dad cassowary take care of their baby cassowaries?
No, in cassowaries, it is primarily the father who takes care of the baby chicks. After the eggs are laid, the female cassowary leaves the male to incubate the eggs and raise the young once they hatch. The male cassowary is responsible for protecting and nurturing the chicks until they are old enough to fend for themselves.
What do mother chickens feed their baby chicks for breakfast?
Chicks hatch and know instinctively what to eat. Brood hens do not teach or feed the chicks.
Does a bird feed its babies with milk?
No. An emu is a bird. It does not produce milk or have any need for milk. Once emu chicks are old enough, they forage along side their parents, seeking food such as insects, and fresh vegetation.
Do doves feed their young milk?
Yes, doves do feed their young a substance often referred to as "pigeon milk," which is not milk in the traditional sense but a nutrient-rich secretion produced by the lining of their crop. Both male and female doves produce this secretion to feed their chicks, especially during the first few days after hatching. This "milk" is essential for the rapid growth and development of the young birds.
What does the cassowaries life cycle look like?
The female cassowary lays between 3 and 8 eggs in a nest on the ground which is lined with leaves, twigs, sticks, bark, etc. She does not incubate the eggs. The male cassowary raises the chicks and females are known to kill the chicks if given the opportunity. Chicks stay with the male for around nine months, but it is several years before they reach reproductive age. A cassowary's lifespan can exceed 30 years in captivity.
How long does it for a cassowary egg to hatch?
The male cassowary incubates the eggs for 50-60 days. He also cares for the chicks once they have hatched, up until they are around nine months old.
Do hens produce milk to feed their young?

Do hens give milk?
No: only mammals nurse their young by lactating (producing milk). Chicks are able to run about almost as soon as they hatch, and can therefore forage for their own food. The mother "shows them around" and protects them, but ultimately the chicks feed themselves. Pigeons, however, produce a "crop milk" that they regurgitate for their young, but this is fundamentally different than mammals' milk.
Can you feed baby chicks egg shells?

What is a good fact about cassowary?
there lots of interesting facts about cassowaries, there are three sub species of cassowary the cassowary in Australia and New Guinea and the Dwarf cassowary only found in New Guinea. Cassowaries live in tropical rain forest and feed mainly on fruits and fungi. some tropical rain forest trees rely on the cassowary for the dispersal and even germination of their seeds. so if the cassowary were to become extinct some trees would also become extinct. cassowaries have a casque (horn) on the top of their head, this is used like a crash helmet so the cassowary can force its way through vine thickets. the cassowary female lays eggs in a nest prepared by the male then mates with him and moves on to another male the male raises the young, which incidentally are not his, until they reach maturity. the cassowary is endangered in Australia, mainly because of habitat degradation, but also because of feral pigs eating there eggs and wild and domestic dogs killing their chicks.
