Now here’s where things get weird, shoebill storks are not only know to be generally accepting of and friendly towards humans, but bowing to them is what they perceive as a deliberate sign of respect and friendliness and they will be quite happy to interact with you afterwards. This is a natural behavior.
Can’t believe i just knew this creature minutes ago from the video of shoebil with gunshot voice
What a majestic bird.
how the shoe bill is so calm and respectful, and whatever that chatter is with the beak is cute as heck. The shoe bill kind of reminds me of a guardian. Seems so intelligent, and smart. The bowing is so respectful, but i don’t quite understand what the headshaking means, but it is cute just the same.
