Cassowaries still exist.

That's a dinosaur. It even has a funny bone ridge like half of the herbivorous classic kids favorites.

I'll gladly admit cassowaries are 1) awsome 2) scary 3) capable and willing to kill a human but they are not on the same category birds of terror were.

Yes, cassowaries are modern dinossaurs, as in birds, but not birds of terror.

p.s

After writting and reading what I wrote, I realized I played myself.

Cassowaries are in fact birds of terror; I'd probably end dead and soiled if I ever crossed paths with one, and nothing says things would happen in that exact order.

But cassowaries are definitely not Terror Birds.
