Forest Gardener

from A$149.00

Standing in a Daintree rainforest creek, a southern cassowary feeds on fallen banana fig fruit. As it swallows whole fruits, seeds pass through its digestive system and are deposited throughout the forest, making this remarkable bird an important part of rainforest regeneration. Its role in spreading the seeds of large-fruited rainforest trees has earned it the name 'the gardener of the rainforest'. Featured on the cover of the Australian Geographic Nature Photographer Of The Year Book 2025.
