Shoebill -- Colourful Birds

Very unique and interesting bird from the eastern part of Africa. Eats small fish, baby crocs, ducks, etc. Very few left in the wild, but it's a most marvelous bird. The mannerisms and kinetics of this bird are stunning. I know birds are descendants of avian dinosaurs, but this bird seems to have nailed that notion. Please watch the whole video hehe.

Man would I love to see one up close.

These birds are pretty huge!

LOL, dude, that's the picture I initially saw online that led me to check it out.

Yeah, the mechanics of this bird (neck, eyes, mouth, the walk) - soo prehistoric, so primal.
