Next to Kuranda zoo is a little adjunct netted area (extra charge) with free flying birds and one poor caged Cassawary. Cassawaries are really important to the rain forest as they are a wide ranging creature and are able to disperse the larger seeds and fruits. The are related to emus and kiwis and are distinguished by the helmit of keratin on their head. Otherwise there were all sorts of parrots one of which took a liking to my backpack and perched on my shoulder for a while, and numerous attractive but unidentified waders.
