Apparently one of the loudest bird calls out there

It looks and sounds like an alien

Wow, it's just like a CNC shop, rapid cutting 6061

The sound would make for a great emergency alarm system in case of natural disasters or air raids.

Wattle seems like a made up word. Snood too.

I mean, yeah, they all are.

I love evolution. I think it's hilarious that these birds evolved to look like they tried to snort the bundle of hair that's been clogging my shower since 2020.
