Top 3 dangerous birds in the world

1. Cassowary Bird

Cassowary birds are the only birds in the cassowary family, which includes the emu. There are three essential species (some experts divide them into six species), which are seen in their habitat. Their primary habitats are parts of Australia and New Guinea. This cassowary bird is known to kill humans. This bird uses the lower part of its legs. These birds can be seen speeding along narrow paths of bushes at speeds of up to 50 km per hour (31 miles). The color of Cassowary is dark blue which looks very beautiful. Its head is like a cap made of bones, and the whole body is covered with hairs, which look like feathers, but they cannot fly. The female cassowary lays three to six eggs once a year, incubated by the male cassowary.


Cassowary birds are interested, and they attack from time to time. But attacks on humans are relatively rare. Their extreme spells include soliciting food from people—one of the recent incidents, when a cassowary kicked a tourist in Queensland, Australia. The tourist was lucky that he fell under the water from above. Otherwise, he would not have survived.  The size of these eggs is up to 13 cm. Its chicks are light brown. It is considered the most dangerous bird in the world. According to the San Diego Zoo, the cassowary senses potential danger and can rip off a man's stomach with the help of a knife-like claw on the inside of its legs.


2. African ostrich.

African ostriches are the giant birds in the world. Even these birds cannot fly. The African ostrich is the only species left after the extinction of the Arabian ostrich. It can be fun to watch, but it is dangerous. They can attack when they feel any danger in their surroundings or environment.

The ostrich's big legs are its primary weapon. It is strong and has only two claws. With the help of these powerful legs, they can outrun their predators and can also use powerful kicks on lions and leopards. The egg of the African ostrich is larger than the egg of any animal in the world. African ostriches can run at a speed of 65 to 70 kilometers per hour and can kill their prey in a matter of seconds. Seeing the danger or attack on them, they also attack the hunter and use powerful kicks with their strong legs and kill or injure the hunter in a few seconds.


3. European Herring Gull

European herring gulls are dangerous and pose a threat to humans because they build nests in urban areas. They attack humans when they try to steal food from populated areas. They often injure people with their highly sharp bills.

Measuring up to 26 inches in length, the European herring gull is a large gull found in Western Europe. These lanes are notorious for stealing food and attacking humans. They have a wingspan of 49 – 61 inches and a 2.6 long, razor-sharp bill. Therefore, severe injuries from herring gull attacks are sure.
