It may have originally evolved to protect the bird's head. Cassowaries eat fallen fruit and the wedge-shaped crest would help deflect any fruit/seeds tumbling from the treetops.
What do cassowaries use their horn for?
CASSOWARIES: RAINFOREST DINOSAURS – Modern birds are descended from dinosaurs and cassowaries belong to one of the more ancient lineages of living birds. The casque (the horn-like protrusion on their head) of the cassowary may serve a similar function to the helmet of the lambeosaurus (duck-billed dinosaur).
Why is the cassowary the most dangerous bird?
As glorious as it is, San Diego Zoo considers it the most dangerous bird in the world because of a 4-inch, dagger-like claw on each foot that "can slice open any predator or potential threat with a single swift kick."
