I find the intense ugliness of the Greater Adjutant to be oddly beautiful. I've been intrigued with this scavenger bird ever since I saw a photo of one proudly perched atop an enormous mountain of garbage. Oh how I love to find beauty in filth.
Roseate Spoonbill, you are one interesting looking dude. Their deep pink coloring is similar to a flamingo. They use their unusual beak to feed on crustaceans by swinging it from side to side as it steadily walks through the water.
Yes, this guy does indeed exist. He is a Hoatzin nestling. One thing you should know about these birds is that they are born with two claws on each wing. They are clumsy in flight and use these claws to climb about in their native swamps of Venezuela and Guyana. Once they reach adulthood, they those their claws. Dinosaur times-style.
