We should join the circus!!!!

Hey guys,
We thought a few of you might be getting a bit fed up through the cold dreary winter so we have devised a few balances for you to try and master!!!! Good luck you can do it!!!!

Also included a few pics of Barbara the Cassawary. They are a bit like emus really. There is only 2 who frequent our area as they are very territorial (look at my extensive knowledge of cassawaries!) . There was a cyclone here last year called Cyclone Larry which killed about 10 of them so now part of our job at the mo is to leave food at their feeding station so that they survive. We have to leave it every few days and leave differing amounts so they don't become to reliant on it. The only thing is every now and then they can be very grumpy and have the ability to run 50m/p/h at you!!! There was one case of one traveller going to feed them, when she hadn't returned for an hour the staff found her holding the crate of food at arms length for the cassawary who was feeding out of it. She was too petrified to let go!!! Normally we just leave it on the ground at the feeding point and scarper!

By the way pics we aplogise for the really dark pics! I think we need to start using our flash!

Green tree frog

Barbara the cassawary
There are 2 wild cassawaries who frequent the area, this is Barbara and she has a son named Stuart (the rangers name them not us!!!!)

Rich pondering which pose to do next in the yoga studio
This studio is beautiful it has amazing rainforest views out of each window. Sometimes we get stuck inside tho as there will often be a cassawary waiting outside and they have been known to run 50 m/p/h at people who get in their way!!! You have to back away very slowly when you see them or watch them from a distance.

don't try this at home!
One of our many pass times at sanctuary we have been mastering the art of yoga, oh and falling over quite a lot!!!

One leg at a time
We can do it!!!!!!

Don't let go whatever you do!!!
We made it in the end!!!

This looks more dangerous than marauding cassowaries! Rich, remember that a vest will ward off most things in life ... try it on Barbara and Stuart!

Jak says you can teach her a thing or two and you can join Gill's class but you'd be the youngest by 30 years! Is that a nice warm vest you're wearing Richard? xx
