They are pretty strange looking, but they are pretty cool. It's almost like a dinosaur bird.

Shoebills were once an ignored species of bird, but they've gained popularity after Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword came out and based the bird mounts called loftwings on them. I think they all look like grumpy old men kinda, but I love loftwings so I have to respect their real life inspiration. Nice photo!

I don't know why people call it the ugliest bird in the world, I think it's one of the coolest!

The contrast in the picture is so cool? Really creates some nice shapes for the eye to follow.

Thank you! I struggled a bit trying to get a good photo. It was hard to get a good shot through all the tall grass.
