      It was adorable! It had a long snout that it kept extending! It also kept wagging its wings up and down and walking in circles. I wish I had brought my good camera with me then! Posted 6 years ago

        Eek, so adorable!! I love watching them walk around, wiggling their wings. They are hard to shoot for me though because they don't stand still. Posted 6 years ago
