    Love this species. Did you know its bill is so large it can't clean its own feathers that way? Posted 5 years ago

      The only time I've seen it & that was a draw there - I don't think I did know that although I suppose I should have - Thanks - Just watching a repeat of Madagascar, Earth's Tropical Islands - wonderful but very scary Posted 5 years ago

        I think they can stretch their neck quite a bit and do so :-) Posted 5 years ago
