there was a lot of collating data of weight and height and sex of different birds. Was this for a paper? Or a curiosity exercise?

This bird has just discovered that golf balls bounce on concrete and he's absolutely loving it: [View all] tblue37 Mar 26 OP

What type bird is this? Picaro Mar 26 #1

It's a red-legged seriema, native to Brazil. Ocelot II Mar 26 #2

Just came on to share this teach1st Mar 26 #4

That figures. The seriema is the closest living relative of the extinct "terror birds." Ocelot II Mar 26 #5

Gahh, glad the "terror birds" aren't still around! Wednesdays Mar 26 #12

The term "terror bird" can apply to several groups that all post-date the KPg extinction. cab67 Mar 26 #20

They're one of three bird groups that look like that. cab67 Mar 26 #15

Fascinating...sounds like druidity33 Mar 26 #17

It was for a thesis. cab67 Mar 26 #18

I'm not sure I agree. cab67 Mar 26 #21

Thanks Picaro Mar 26 #8

aww barbtries Mar 26 #13

Maybe it is, even if the purpose is to bust open or "kill" the golf ball. Ocelot II Mar 26 #14

Is he loving it or pissed off that egg doesn't break? dem4decades Mar 26 #3

Possibly trying to kill it. See #4. Ocelot II Mar 26 #6

He's trying to chip in for birdie PJMcK Mar 26 #16

Looks like he's trying to break it to me AKwannabe Mar 26 #7

I'd like to think he learned how to play "ball" KS Toronado Mar 26 #9

Can't break that egg open to get at the good stuff inside! LudwigPastorius Mar 26 #10

Trying to open it. Seagulls did this at my Cape Cod home Grins Mar 26 #11

He is a better golfer than you know who. Emile Mar 26 #19

THANK YOU for making my day!!! Martin Eden Mar 26 #22
