Wow! What a majestic looking bird!

Don't think I'd like him puking on me, though.

LOL

AWESOME video Brad.
The wife and I skipped school once in high school and went to the zoo in Washington D.C
WE actually got to see that same bird with its wings stretched out live.
THEY ARE HUUUUUUUUGE.
They were feeding them chicken parts at the zoo when we were there Smile

Outstanding bird!! I cannot imagine ME looking after him, I bet he could take care of ME. One could ride on his back while he flies. Wouldn't that be something! Never mind Brad, don't take any notice.......Many thanks for the video, first time I've heard of this bird. You surely take care of our education

Thank you Brad for sharing this video. Can't believe how tame. I could someone coming into your yard and out comes this gaint bird, I can picture the look on someones face, I don't think they would get out of their car lol. I wouldn't mind taking care of a bird like this and puking not a problem. It's so ugly it's cute, lol.
