Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...

Yep, it is from East Africa, I looked it up, it's called a Shoebill.

Birds are so beautiful!

Saw one at the Houston Zoo a few years back.

Had it as my screen saver for awhile

Birds make life even better! On average the Shoebill weighs over 12 pounds. Damn.

Goddang, I thought that adult Turkeys was the ugliest critters ever made!
Always thought God played a joke on them, very cute, sorta pretty when they’re young. But when they grow up! WTF purpose does a snood or waddle on the head and neck serve?😀 I always was attracted to the girls without the growth on their faces!😀
But that Shoebill sorta makes Turkeys a little more attractive!
I realize that I ain’t attractive to a crocodile, other than maybe sorta tasty.😟
But Holy Smokes. Talk about a face only a mother could love?

I could not agree mere AKCHOPPER!

I took this picture of a rare bird in my parts last week on our lake. I have only seen two in my lifetime, Cinnamon Teal. Sorry for the bad picture, my camera sucks!
