Robert Fuller just wanted you to be aware that another person is stealing your videos and posting them on their page as their own. The persons CZcams channel name is Landscape. They’ve zoomed the videos in, so people can’t see that they are your videos. I can’t remember the mother/daughter pair of barn owls, but the older daughter wanted moms attention, maybe Gylfie, and that daughter goes in to her new babies next and steals one of her babies. Just wanted you to be aware. Many on that video have commented and see that it’s your video. You have a lot of loyal followers
Thank you for making us aware of this, please could you send me a link to either a video of theirs or their channel. Cheers!
They look prehistoric! I still think they’re beautiful. I understand they can REALLY hurt a human being. Thank you for the share!
💙
Like all big animals they can be dangerous the female charged at one point but she stopped a few meters away luckily
But if you are sensible and give them space they leave you alone
I like the idea of a telephoto lens. I wouldn’t take any chances with those “feet”!
Thank you for sharing this world with us! I’d never even heard of these birds. So beautiful!❤❤❤
They are truly stunning birds we were very fortunate to see so many in 4 days
So dangerous.
@@lilbitsleepy2574
Not really that much it’s over hyped how dangerous they are like most wild animals they just want to be left alone
But they do deserve a bit of respect and should never be feed by humans because they can become aggressive
The Cassowary are magnificent! Thank you for giving this glimpse, Robert!
They are truly amazing birds it was such a pleasure being in there forest with them
Very beautiful birds and the sounds of the water made it perfect
Thank you, amazing Birds 🙏🙋🍀
My goodness what a TREAT!! Thank you!
Robert it is a Stunning and Beautiful Bird. Thank You for showing us.
No problem it’s a pleasure to share my wildlife experiences
Thanks Robert! I’ve loved these birds since I saw them in the Ferngully movie!!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
Amazing❤❤
Thanks 😊
Gorgeous footage. What majestic birds! Thank you for this ❤
❤WOW!!! What a beautiful majestic bird!❤
Yes they are incredible I was very lucky to see 13 in 4 days
Really nice nature shots of cassowary I like the environment to. It was cool with the running water in the woods.
Yes very special to see them near the river
I have had a lifelong love for these prehistoric looking birds. So beautiful to watch! I have collected various sizes of ceramic and china Cassowary that I display around my backyard and in my house. Thanks so much for all your videos but especially those about these giants. I love your channel, sir.
Beautiful coloring, more amazing nature captured, thank you❤😊
Absolutely stunning. Like walking back into prehistoric times! 🦕🦖
Hi, Robert! They're beautiful and magnificent birds!! Incredible footage, congrats and thank you for this!!
🙌🤩👏👍🙏😃
Cassaries always fascinate me, they are just so drastic-looking like Shoebills and are so beautiful but also very dangerous just like nature herself. Thank you Robert for bringing this gem.❤😊🐦🦖
The cassowaries were very special to see and it’s my pleasure to share my wildlife experience with you all
They can be dangerous but it’s often the fault of humans not treating them with enough respect and doing stupid things like feeding them which makes them aggressive
🙋♀️ G’day Robert, Daintree Forest is so beautiful, been there 3 times on my travels, we have some awesome wildlife here in Australia 🇦🇺 cheers 👍
The Daintree rainforest is stunning my second trip there and to see so many cassowaries was a real treat
Modern day dinosaurs. SO beautiful and majestic!!
Yes stunning birds it’s like having a glimpse back into the past
Thanks for this interesting video! I have never seen this bird before ! 🥰🥰
They are incredible birds and I felt so privileged to spend time with them
Thank you for the great footage of these ante deluvian looking birds, and what makes it exceptionally good is that there is no music but actual nature's own soundtrack! How rarecin nature documentaries Hope this sets a new trend. So refreshing to discover all the layers of sounds of birds, insects and water. Thank you again!
Glad you enjoyed the cassowaries and the sound of the forest
I have just learned a new English word! In French they are called casoar à casque.
They are truly majestic.
Amazing photography! Love seeing them in the water!
Yes we were very lucky to see the male crossing the river
Waw amazing video Mr... 😍😍
So prehistoric looking. Amazing to see them. 😊
Thanks for sharing, they are so majestic. Look how they caring their self.
It's like their saying look at me.
They are spectacular birds
Beautiful footage Robert. I've never seen them in the wild before, and the sound of the water was a great accompaniment! Thank you ❤🇦🇺
Glad you enjoyed the cassowaries
I've been anticipating films from your Australia trip and this did not disappoint! Cassowaries are magnificent and terrifying - it's like a glimpse of the prehistoric past.
Yes there is something very primaeval spending time with them In what’s thought to be the oldest rainforest in the world
Something very special. Always 🌷🌷💕💕
Thanks 😊
Hi Robert They are beautiful. But also deadly. They are so big and powerful. One attacked a man, and killed him. So no one gets to close a anymore. Loved the video. Cindy USA
Yes I’m aware they can be dangerous, the female charged us at one point it was quite intimidating I think we just surprised her and she was letting us know who was boss. But if you think about it more people are killed by much smaller animals wasps spiders etc The main problem is if people feed them it can make them aggressive
Dinosaurs of the modern age. Fabulous!
Yes they do look a bit prehistoric
Really beautiful 😍. You are lucky to be living in a place with access to so much wildlife!
What a magnificent creature. Thanks for taking us there. 😎✌️
Such big bodies and tiny heads but all put together perfectly!! Thanks for this - ive never seen one before! Xx
Glad you enjoyed the cassowaries they are very special birds
How cool are
These birds😎
Very they are incredible
ЧУДО ПТИЦЫ!!!
They are very prehistoric looking!
Yes it very primitive looking bird
Beautiful 😍
Love Daintree!!!
Oh my word!! How very beautiful 😮
Thank you for sharing Robert 😊
Stay well and be safe 🙏 ❤️
Texas Nana 🤠
Psalm 91
It’s a pleasure to share 😊
Wow! Amazing!
Beautiful work!!! I’d love to get a behind the scenes to see how difficult it was, or wasn’t, to get such amazing footage.
My guide Mat was amazing we were out for 4 days from dawn to dusk and covered many miles to see 13 cassowaries in 4 days but it was totally worth it
@@RobertEFuller Were they aggressive at all? I know in some places people are warned and told to keep their distance to avoid getting hurt.
@@DukeBoyMomThey are losing their habitat it is being destroyed by property developers and turned into farmland
Beaut footage!
Thanks for sharing ♥️
And thanks for watching 😊
I've never seen these birds before but they're quite interesting and very lovely..... I read rainforest I hope we get to see some jaguars, I just love jaguars they're such magnificent cats.... Thank you Robert for sharing.❤❤
Looking forward to the Jaguars 🐆
@@RobertEFuller YES... I'M SO EXCITED I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE JAGUARS THEY ARE MY FAVORITE IN THE CAT FAMILY WELL BESIDES LIONS... THANK YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO IT....
Amazing creatures - so prehistoric! Great footage of them going about their daily life :) I watched a great documentary about these birds once, and their eggs are emerald green.
Thanks yes i have seen a documentary too maybe the same one 😃 that’s why I was so keen to see them in the wild
I would love to see a nest iand see there eggs but it’s very rare that people find a nest
What a cool and deadly dinosaur ❤
I've heard of the Cassowary, and seen pictures and illustrations of them, but never a video! What beautiful, fascinating and elegant birds they are. And I somehow missed they're from Australia! I have a sister there so next time I go see her again, I hope to see a Cassowary while I'm there!!! ❤️🥰❤️
Yes cassowaries live in the Daintree rainforest the but are difficult to see my guide Matt was great at finding them look up FNQ Nature Tours James is the owner
and they were key to me seeing so many cassowaries
They also live in Papua New Guinea
amazing footage!
Thanks 😊
They look like between turkey and peacocks they walk like chickens thanks for sharing
Earth needs triage. Here's to those who fight for her survival... the innocent children and animals deserve a tomorrow.
❤
Beautiful, yet frightening birds. Not one I'd want to cross paths with.
Thanks Robert a real dinosaur! 🥰🤗
It’s amazing seeing them in the forest
@@RobertEFuller in fact it is the first time that I see them free and not in a zoo, thanks 🤗
How gorgeous!
Pretty dinosaurs!
Dino DNA!
Welcome to Australia 😊
Thanks 😊 it was a great trip
When the asteroid destroyed the dinosaurs, the cassowary just shook his crown and carried in.
Their call is insane.
Yes I heard it 4 times but didn’t manage to film it
It's like watching dinosaurs :D
It did feel that way when in such a ancient forest
What astonishing and beautiful creatures! Astounding coloring! The raised thing on its head looks as if it's hard and tough. What purpose does it serve, if any?
Hi the casque on its head is thought to help regulate there heat
Plus it may be a show of age and dominance the females have the largest most spectacular colours and features
Saw a few up north in QLD some years ago. At a beach/rainforest site and just on the roadside. Wound the window down and tried to focus my SLR however could not get a clear image through the viewfinder. My wife then said quite calmly, "Look out". The bird was walking up to the car just a few feet away. I then wound up the window and we watched in awe as it pecked at the external mirror and then attacked the large silver hub cap on my VW Beetle with its large toe. It then walked calmly away. I did not get any photos of the conflict as I was busy watching.
I definitely can see a dinosaur there.
Me too it’s like stepping back in time the Daintree rainforest is thought to be the oldest forest in the world 🌎 which makes it even more special
👍👍👍👍👍
These guys are living dinosaurs…I swear
Yes very primitive looking birds
Amazing footage! I'm fascinated by these birds, they're just so unique. Does anyone know if one is male or female?
Btw, this video is very zen, with the flowing water and nature sounds, I had to watch it a few times, just gorgeous. I'd love to see a full length film on the cassowary.
The female is the largest most colourful one with the biggest cast on her head
They were courting
The female lays the eggs and then the male does the rest incubation and razing the chicks
And yes I will do a longer film about them
@@RobertEFuller Wow, thank you so much for the reply, very cool to know more details about them! Interesting how the male does the brooding & razing, go papas! 💜
If you ever get close to one of those birds then be careful; they are _very_ dangerous, and much faster than you. I commend the cameraman who captured them on video.
Yes they can be dangerous but like most wildlife it depends on how you interact with them give space and watch for any signs of stress or aggression
And no one should ever feed them that can make them aggressive
It seems that there are also zoos in Japan, but I have not seen it yet. It's like being back in the dinosaur age(Jurassic period).😲⏳🔎
They do look very prehistoric and the Daintree rainforest is thought to be the oldest rainforest in the world
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video of these magnificent birds. I just wish it had been longer. Is it true cassowaries are the most dangerous, deadly birds on the planet?
They are very powerful and can attack people but this is rare and usually happens when provoked people make a big mistake by feeding them and the last person to be killed by one was in captivity in Florida in 2019
The female charged us but it was our fault for surprising her
We had been in the forest with them for quite some time and went back to the car and they went back into the forest and we obviously approached them to quickly and she charged letting us know who was boss But most of the time they are not interested in humans
@@RobertEFuller thank you so much for this informative reply. I think they are beautiful, fascinating birds. Thank you for all you do to showcase and bring awareness to so many animals, and working so hard to help so many survive and thrive. ❤️🙏
@@nada7.077It’s my pleasure keep watching to see more
It looks like these pretty big birds don't have feathers around their bodies, but black fur.
Yeah long thin feathers that look like fur
Little modern dinosaurs.
They definitely looked a bit prehistoric
This could be a scene from Jurassic park
Did you use telephoto lens? I understand these guys are quite awesome in the fight! Scary birds.
I used both wide angle and zoom lens and got very close to some of them just a couple of meters away
Yes they can be dangerous and the female charged at one point but it was our fault we had been with them for some time and went back to the car and when we went back into the forest we approached to fast ! it was quite intimidating as she changed towards us, but like most wildlife they don’t seek out conflict with humans and just want to be left alone
One big problem is people feed them which leads to aggression
beware
When I enter God’s Kingdom instead of a home I’ve requested a forest with waterfall and lots of animals🙏🏼👑✝️🙏🏼
Sounds good to me. Ill be your neighbor
I just wanna see my mum and ask god why
@@susanb4816I have SO MANY questions for God.
@@debrawagner4949Sounds good to me too!
@@susanb4816 Hello Susan. I'm sorry for the loss of your mother. I pray you get the strength to deal with this. And remember: when you are good with Jesus, and your mom was too, *you will see her again* , 100% guaranteed!! 🖖😘👍
The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
People worry about possible injury but frankly, there are plenty of humans and not many cassowaries. Lots of cassowaries die and get injured by humans compared to humans by cassowary.
They can be dangerous, the female charged us at one point But I think we surprised her and she was just letting us know who was boss of the forest
But most of the time if you give them enough space they ignore humans
The main thing is people should never feed them as they can then become dangerous there is a saying a fed cassowary is a dead cassowary
@@RobertEFuller Sure, that’s common problem with any dangerously large animal….bears being a prime example.
@@58Kym yes large animals that can be dangerous should not be fed
Ah yes the death turkeys, if life was an RPG Emu's would be Tanks and Cassowary's the DPS
I don't know why people go around saying dinosaurs are extinct. That's a bloody dinosaur right there. 😂
Its certainly looks like one
Dinosaurs!
Wait aren't they like lethally dangerous? Were you dressed up in chainmail or something from head to toe or were you literally risking your life for our pleasure?😮
Hi 👋 yes they can be dangerous but how dangerous they are like most wildlife is totally over hyped
People have been killed by them but it’s often the humans fault the last fatal attack was a captive bird in Florida I think in 2019, most important thing is to give them space and never feed them
The top part of there head reminds me of a dinosaur
Yes they definitely have a prehistoric look about them
Large and dangerous.
Dinosaur
I heard these birds are Jerks.
These are very elusive creatures I was hoping to see one last time I went up to cairns, I traversed through miles of rainforest and never saw a single one :( pretty sure I heard their calls though.
They are not easy to see but I was very lucky to see 13 in 4 days but we were out in the forest from dawn to dusk each day and travelled miles to find them, but it was so worth it
@@RobertEFuller Yeah I wasn't in a very remote area when I went bush walking, I sware I could hear the chick's calls though. :) Beautiful shots anyway!
