    Not too dangerous, weren’t they identified as the predator in a lot of Maori stories about man hunting birds?

      They were certainly feared but aren’t as dangerous as say, a tiger, which we keep regularly. Their poo suggests a herbivorous diet so unlikely to be hunting anything regularly, probably more like a cassowary that attack for defence.
