end0skeletal: Female cassowaries lay three to eight large, bright green or pale green-blue eggs in each clutch into a prepared heap of leaf litter. The male incubates the eggs for 50–52 days, removing or adding litter to regulate the temperature, then protects the chicks, who stay in the nest for about nine months, defending them fiercely against all potential predators, including humans. The female does not care for the eggs or the chicks but moves on to lay eggs in the nests of several other males. (x x x) -- source link
