It could be their way of letting the owner or friendly human know that it feels good that or they believe that they are scratching themselves and mimic the movement.

Dogs may kick their legs when you scratch them because it triggers a reflex that mimics their natural behavior of scratching to relieve an itch. It is also a sign that they are enjoying the sensation and is a way for them to show pleasure.

Dogs involuntarily kick their legs when you scratch them in many places, most notably their stomach and chest areas. This involuntary action is caused by their joy, when you scratch certain areas on them it's much like when people massage certain areas on you.

How does the cassowary defend itself from predators?

Adult cassowaries have no natural predators so they do not need to defend themselves. If they did, a well aimed kick from their legs, or a piercing scratch from the sharp claws on their feet would suffice.
