yknow it’s a real shame that romans didn’t have access to australia specifically for augury reasons. i really wish i could have seen a roman augur have to deal with australian birds. like imagine trying to properly interpret an omen from a fuckin. cassowary

loving that the general consensus here is that “the omen when you see a cassowary is that you are about to die of cassowary”
