The Cassowary is a large, flightless bird found in tropical rainforests and tropical swamps.

Taming

Cassowaries can be tamed wild, randomly join your colony in an event, or bought pre-tamed from a trading ship or trade caravans.

Summary

Cassowaries are pen animals. Once tamed, pen animals cannot and do not need to be trained any further. But if left outside of a pen or caravan hitching spot, pen animals will eventually roam outside your colony. Making a caravan is not required to tie animals to a caravan hitching spot.

A female cassowary produces 1 ostrich egg every 3.33 day when fertilized. Cassowary will not lay unfertilized eggs.

Analysis

Cassowaries are one of many egg-laying animals that are inferior to chickens. 2 hens eat less food, and each hen lays 3.33 eggs for every cassowary egg. While an cassowary egg is worth 2 chicken eggs, a single hen remains superior for egg production (let alone 2). Hens do not need to be fertilized, which adds a further advantage.

They can be found in the wild, unlike chickens. In tropical biomes, the cassowary is the only native egg-laying animal, other than the carnivorous cobra. However it is not worth the effort and risk to tame a cassowary, when you ranch other, more efficient animals, or make vegetarian fine meals and vegetarian lavish meals instead.
