The world's 2nd heaviest bird after the Ostrich, they are tropical natives in PNG and QLD, Australia. They are living dinosaurs, but the dagger-clawed middle toe makes them the most dangerous bird alive !

The “dagger claw” is a first for me. An amazing species and great write up, Zig!

Oh Yes! You definitely want to give these characters a wide berth, Zig! I hope you weren't as close as your photo might suggest!

Nice find Zig! I've heard also, that a few people have found out the hard way about these birds.

Make your life spectacular!
