An ugly bird! I guess not even it´s mother can think it is sweet. But I don´t think that is the reason for it to be at the edge of extinction.

  2. So homely he's cute! Kind of reminded me of "our" wood storks in that way. Definitely should NOT be on the extinction list (no bird should of course!).

  5. What a strange looking bird .... They are similar in shape to the Australian white ibis but their bald heads are not a pretty sight.
