Try to fix his head, as when it loops, one of the frames his head pops up.
Now I checked it fbf, and I can see a few other frames ease this, but that isn't enough, it still looks to spazzy.
I do see what you are trying to do though, and the concept is correct, just try to add more frames so it doesn't look as spazzy.
The animal's feet also are a bit spazzy when they were getting ready to impact to the floor...I'd suggest double framing or adding more frames, although IMO, double framing would work better. (:
I see a tad bit of wobbliness, but thats okay. On the whole, its a great running loop (:

Thanks so much for the tip, I'll go and add some of those frames and see if that helps. As for the feet I was kinda trying to make them look a little floppy before they hit the ground though not sure if that came out right

To make them look floppy, add tonnes of frames.
It is really hard to pull off flopiness :/
Oh btw, sorry if I seem like a really hard critic. If you can pull this stuff off, then animation will become a whole lot easier for you!

It's soo cool that cassowaries look just like velociraptors and other therapod dinosaurs! This is a super cool animation!

Very nice~
Couple crits, if I may:
-His neck does look a little disjointed (not so much as a design, but when he runs, he looks like he's snapping the vertebrae at each contact position). Maybe curve it a bit more?
-It's really not noticeable, but the body could stand to thrust out a bit more (try running fast and you should notice you lean forward with your momentum). Keeping him more upright as he is makes it seem more like a jog than a run. It's just a tiny smidge, nothing major since birds tend to lean a bit forward anyway.
This is a lovely piece (as with many of your stuff 
On a side note: I miss seeing you around ; ;

Thank you ^^
Yeah I'm gonna put a background in this cause it's looking a bit flat this way and I see what you are talking about with the neck so I'm gonna try and fix that. I did have him running upright on purpose though as if he is puffing out his chest lol.
Thanks for the critique I really appreciate it. Btw how are you doing?

Your welcome ^^
Ah, well, it looks fine then if that was what you were going for ^^d
I doing pretty good, though I'm so busy these days just trying to get ready for portfolio defense (and working like crazy at my internship as deadlines quickly approach). It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to redo all my previous packaging because a certain someone didn't feel it reflected my talents (of COURSE it looks like a graphic designer made it, packaging is a graphic design ELEMENT! Animation does NOT lend itself business card designs, etc, oi.)
So yeah, I'm good otherwise. You?

I'm pretty much trying to get some animations done for both senior project 2 and 2D production team class (the latter is KILLIN ME >: )
That and basically putting everything together for my reel. Otherwise I'm doing well too, a LOT better than last quarter >_<
