Looks fake.
Wild bird lets people within a few feet of it? Fake as hell. |

Not fake, look 'em up on Wikipedia. During day they perch at the top of a branch or stump and camo themselves as part of the tree.
Pretty fascinating stuff - and creepy |

Fuck it, right? You have to be, like, on the internet or something to search and see if it's real or not. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-rO_NB6-9C7w/UGfEZJmBYcI/AAAAAAAEGGg/NQf4tEO4SRw/w800-h800/15058979973500307_y8vSOVcy_c.jpg View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Because the people in the photos are within feet of the bird. Edit: Why should I waste my time and look things up. You just did it for me. |

My first thought was "Holy shit, it DOES look like a Sleestack".
My second thought was "I've never seen one of those before..." My third thought was "No wonder I've never seen one before, neat." My fourth thought was "I wonder whats going on in another thread..." |

There is a band called Fu Manchu that has a tune titled Sleestak.

Is it just me or does that thing look like it was flying and accidentally impaled itself on the part that holds the barbed wire apart.
There should be about 3" more of that thing and it just disappears into it's chest. That would explain why It cant fly off. Looks like it's dieing. |

Quoted: Looks fake. Wild bird lets people within a few feet of it? Fake as hell. View Quote This one probably ate something funky in the jungle and is tripping balls. Most of the other pics of potoos show them with yellow eyes, but this one looks like his pupils are fully dilated. Very strange for a nocturnal bird in the daytime.
