Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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???
