Dino Bird

[Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933]

At first I thought this was a joke clip from a Dinosaur movie.  It is the real thing.  The bird is making all the machine gun and shrieking noises.  It is BIG.  Almost extinct only found in a few places in Africa.

Oh WOW!!! Yes, those are huge birds...like 4' tall, right!!!

Question is...do they make that noise naturally? Or was it in captivity and heard a movie and mimmiced it???

We call that a small chicken in Texas.

Sue, oddly enought it is their mating call.  Maybe that is why they are almost extinct?
