Cassowaries are native to New Guinea and parts of Australia, and are known to attack people and animals if they feel threatened.
"The cassowary is rightfully considered the most dangerous bird in the world! Each 3-toed foot has a dagger-like claw on the inner toe that is up to 4 inches (10 centimeters) long," is how the San Diego Zoo's website describes them. "The cassowary can slice open any predator or potential threat with a single swift kick. Powerful legs help the cassowary run up to 31 miles per hour (50 kilometers per hour) through the dense forest underbrush."

Just let them, with their velociraptor claws, have at the clan.
