Kori Bustard Call

These guys are gorgeous whent hey present their plumage. They look a little derpy but their size is just really impressive.

I also recorded him so you can hear his mating call, which is essentially just a very deep and booming sound.

Please excuse the shoddy video quality, I usually don't use my camera for that and the lens wasn't wide enough so you will have to live with some severe vertical video syndrome

Very Regal! Look like he should be a guard for the queen's army. If he holds his head any higher, he won't be able to see where he's going, lol.

I have seen them before, I just never heard their mating call.

Yeah, a good base really is a beautiful thing ;D

He does look like he is very proud about his feathers!

They really are pretty unique. I've never heard that sound before and they are also the heaviest bird that can fly.

Who put Uncle Fritz in a cage??

He belongs in that cage, if he keeps making that noise I'm not gonna keep him inside the house! XD

Derpy is the PERFECT word! lol That is the strangest bird I've ever seen. (And I follow Raj on facebook, I've seen some of his weird birds <3 Raj). Great shot.
