  1. Definitely an amazing creature and I'm glad you shared so many fun facts about them because I knew nothing about them previously! This bird has a solid, 2nd place rating for me as the best bird, though. Nothing can beat the vulture in my eyes. Posted 3 years ago

          1. Lol, so right. I never liked Big Bird. He was too whiny. I was more of a Bert and Ernie fan. Posted 3 years ago
