Apparently the shoebill let the duck go, but the look on the duck's face is priceless. I think this stork is pretty high up on my list of things I don't want to meet in a dark alley.
And yeah, a whole flock of guard-shoebills would be daunting. If I ever walked up to a yard full of them, I'd just stop & turn around. And I thought parrots were intimidating... geez.
Oh I LOVE them. Seriously. I want them to be my totem, and my primary guide, and my spirit helper (alas, they are not). I just WANT HEART WANT them.
I don't find them scary, I see them as regal. I don't find them creepy, but strong. To me they are the stork kings. I'm a bit insane really. But I just love them.
