What is this, let's dis Brooklyn day?

Like the Dodo on the Cook Islands

These birds will hatch two baby birds, then let cast one out. It's kinda sad. I watched a program where the bigger baby was picking on the weaker one, weaker one went to Mom for comfort, and Mom just pushed it away. It was sad. Nature is weird.

A face that only a mother could lov

I think this Shoebill is adorable l hope there is some sort of breeding program to stop this little dude from becoming extinct like so many other birds

I completely agree with the need for a breeding program, but a five foot tall bird just does not register as "little dude" to me. Heh.
