[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 755560, member: 4152"] wow! We came home one day, to discover HUGE, tall birds walking around our backyard. They were about 5 feet tall. (I'm 5'2" ...so they were VERY intimidating to me!) I'm NOT EXAGGERATING. HUGE!!!! One had a red head. I think he was a the leader! I heard later from locals, that they travel in families. They didn't seem afraid of us...although we were cowering mostly inside looking out the windows. My husband ventured into the screened patio. One started to go up to him...and the big guy squawked him away. I think he was trying to tell his "child," I'm in charge here. My husband had some fruit for the huge bird. He didn't want fruit. I found out later, you actually aren't suppose to feed them. They are somewhat protected. And someone else told me they prefer bugs. We were completely astonished. We don't know how they got there. They were walking on two legs. They were a greyish color...sort of having a picnic in our back yard. They looked like something from a movie. After about an hour, they left...but sadly, we didn't see them leave. Their wing span must of been AMAZING. [/QUOTE]
