Description

How could a bird with such a pretty head be the worlds most dangerous. These guys are 3rd only to Ostriches and Emus for size, can outweigh them and have killed people. They are bad tempered and very territorial so please forgive me for cutting it's crop off, I had other concerns at the time :).

A marvellous portrait! Having only seen them in Bird parks here I had no idea they are a bit tricky!
