Elder Sister Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I cannot stop watching videos of it. It is now my boyfriend's photo in my contacts list. I love you, shoebill bird. I don't care if you poop on yourself and kind of scare me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seli Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 The great potoo might be even better. Frogmouths are also quite cool. eta: potoo https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/ca/d4/d5/cad4d52c3c89e08105cbc64d9cc2f786.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astromech Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I've always been a bit partial to the Blue-Footed Booby. Who wouldn't dance with kicks like those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckwheat Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 That thing looks evil. And those eyelids are creepy. I like the blue feet fellow better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mlle. Zabzie Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 It is the most metal of birds, and clearly amazing. Elder Sis - may I introduce you to the Kakapo Parrot? Maybe an appropriate intervention? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry of the Lawn Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I met a guy named William Scheu, he's a relative of my mom's boyfriend. I guess he could ostensibly be listed somewhere as Scheu, Bill. Next time I see him I'll chuck a catfish on the ground and see if he makes a sudden spring for it.

Offer him a selection of baby crocodile, lungfish, catfish...maybe some sort of aquatic rat. I can't remember the name of those things nutria!!! in Louisiana that James Burke always writes about.

I will put them on my Christmas list because, frankly, I'm totally embarrassed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baitac Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 That was some nasty baby bird pecking the other baby bird. I know it's survival of the fittest shoebill bird, but now I'm angry at that little sucker. They remind me of Skeksis from The Dark Crystal. Scary birds.
