not a canary vulture

so, not too long ago, i posted a picture of a strange animal that i saw at the zoo. i couldn't remember the name of it, so i asked you guys. my friend justin guessed that it was a Canary Vulture. i wanted to do some "fact-checking" before i shared the results with you guys, so i asked wikipedia what a canary vulture was. all wikipedia had to say was "did you mean cannabis culture?"
of COURSE that's not what i meant, wikipedia. for crying out loud. that would be a funny mistake to make though. like, if a politician was giving a speech about the War on Drugs and he kept referencing canary vultures and confusing the hell out of everyone. then at the end, during the Q&A, obviously someone would have to ask what he meant about all that canary vulture talk and he would say, "what? oh! i'm sorry, did i say canary vulture? i meant cannabis culture." they'd have him carted away. everyone would assume that he'd researched the subject matter a little too heavily.
anyway, emily figured out what the animal is. it's a cassowary. it's from new guinnea.
