Apparently one of the loudest bird calls out there

It looks and sounds like an alien

Wow, it's just like a CNC shop, rapid cutting 6061

The sound would make for a great emergency alarm system in case of natural disasters or air raids.

But not in the areas where it lives

That's true, the Amazonians do need air raid sirens due to the chemical air attacks from entrepreneurial colonialists.

Must be super rare, is there even one recording with multiple of those birds at once?

Never seen a goober-flange before?

The slave owning flying guy from Tatooine with a gambling problem?

Thank you for watching; we will now go off the air until 6am.

Wattle seems like a made up word. Snood too.

[–] mrcleanup 6 points 5 months ago

I mean, yeah, they all are.

I love evolution. I think it's hilarious that these birds evolved to look like they tried to snort the bundle of hair that's been clogging my shower since 2020.
