Callie suddenly freezes as a Cassawary stepers out with 3 distinct
russels in the bush near him.  ''ello little lady! says the Cassawary!
I'z headed to Buffy, Fur Face and Kyde's place!  I heared dere was
another group.  Dez about 2km dat way (points with his nose).  Dis is a
fine camp so mebby dey move here?  It's near night so mebby tomorra'?

Meantime, 3 little furry (and much shorter than Dad's loft 7ft) step
out.  Milton meets Pretty Girl, a 2ft tall baby cassawary.  Hamish
meets Jumper, a slightly taller male baby cassawary.  The other bit of
bush russles for a moment then runs out a 3rd cassawary named Runner.
He's midway sized of Pretty Girl and Jumper.

"I'z Pip Squeek, named cause I was the smallest of the boys" he says
with a happy grin.  Then he reaches down and tries a peach.
