Of course you also have the option to remain anonymous.
Virtual Adoptions are valid for a duration of ONE YEAR, during which time, this cassowary will NOT be available for adoption or sponsorship.
Every 3 months, you will receive a new picture of your adopted bird with a story of the events of their life over the last 3 months, plus you’ll be receiving cool items like coffee mugs, tote bags, t-shirts, hoodies, and more, all featuring your adopted cassowary’s picture!
MVD’s are also entitled to three in person visits to the organization during their adoption period!

When you Sponsor your favorite cassowary, you’ll make a recurring donation and starting at 3 months, and in 3 month intervals, you’ll start receiving cool items, all printed with your sponsored cassowary!
See which cassowaries are available below!
Though he may look like the other blue and red cassowaries to you, Liberace is a Northern or Single Wattle Cassowary.
Liberace is called a Blue or Red Northern Cassowary because his colors differ from that of the Traditional Yellow Northern Cassowary.
The casque that tops his head also differs from that of both the Southern and Northern cassowaries, it’s a little taller and not as flat as the Yellow Northerns but not as tall and rounded as the Southerns.
It is easy to tell that Artemis and Piggy are very different from their Southern cousins!
Their bright yellow neck draws your attention and the difference in their cheeks and casque are blatantly obvious.
Artemis & Piggy are Northern Cassowary, two of only three known in existence in the USA.
Of those, 2 are yellow: Artemis & Piggy, and Liberace the Red, above.
Sponsor Artemis or Piggy for $100 a month.

Too much time stuck in her egg prior to hatching gave this girl a wonky appearance but she is healthy and happy!
Godiva is paired with Myron and was definitely the most relaxed cassowary until Myron came along and took the title.
Godiva’s appearance shows the signs of her journey out of her egg and her “wonki-ness” means she holds a special place in our hearts!

By far, Lucky is the most aggressive cassowary at our facility.
