At the St. Augustine Florida alligator farm, they also had a few birds in captivity. Some were lovely. Some were noisy. Some were.....well.....look here.........
My daughter was reading about this poor bird and said it was a stork. She said the thing hanging in the front is supposed to attract the opposite sex. She said the reason storks have the reputation of delivering babies is because it looks like they are carrying something in the sack.
I believe she also said they get pecked on the head a lot. I guess that has to do with "pecking order." I just couldn't help but stare and stare at these poor birds. They make we think of someone who has pulled their cloak around their shoulders and want to disappear.
Happy Thanksgiving, all of you on the Rain, and to this bird who will definitely not get eaten!!
