They tend to be a little skittish in the wild, but captives may be tame.Β They can be kept safely with other similar sized birds like storks, ibis, and large bustards.

Oh my, a nice shot indeed~!
I remember the pair I had seen on the zoo's grounds I volunteered and worked at. One could never get a nice shot of them unless you had a special expensive camera for the job.Β
This one seems rather happy to come closer though~! Well done! If it had been taken here, it most certainly would have been magazine material.
