Real Dragon Bird: A Genuine Reality Check… And An Ancient Myth Is Born!

Today, it is known for sure that no dragon birds are living on Earth now. However, several different species of birds can be categorized as dragon birds due to their unique features.

In Australia for example, the Cassowary bird is called a dragon bird because it has a temper that can rival that of a dragon! This mythical creature is about 1 meter high and 3 meters long with blue and purple-colored neck feathers. The cassowary feeds on fruit but sometimes eats small reptiles as well.

The cassowary bird is known to have killed people before so it should not be approached by humans without proper knowledge about its behavior. In ancient times, the Australian Aborigines believed that dragon birds were messenger spirits who watched over Indigenous tribes from above – now we know better…

In Japan, dragon birds are called Ho-oh (the Japanese word for phoenix). However, the famous Moltres bird species which was discovered in Mexico is related to real dragon birds as well. The ho-oh bird is a powerful symbol of fire and it is believed that their presence increases the chances of a forest fire dramatically.

The current dragon bird species – with true dragon features – are the Draco Volans and Draco Dussumieri, both from South East Asia. In mythology, dragon birds were also often confused with flying serpents as they have many similar qualities as these reptiles. These types of small lizards can reach up to 3 meters in length but cannot fly! A flying dragon snake usually weighs less than 0.5 kg – dragon birds are much heavier which is why these two species cannot be confused with each other.
