    This bird has the most beautiful song, but I couldn't get him to sing on video.This guy was fun to watch as he stroked his beak through the water.Yrs, it's a duck. But look at those cool colors!This guy lost his beak (reason unknown) but has adapted rather well.You can't help but have a sympathetic 'awww' for this guy (zoom in for the lack-of-beak detail).Same breed of bird, but not beakless.Black swans are just so unique (to us).He's motoring over to us hoping for some food.The Giant Moa was ~12ft tall & ~500lbs;became extinct w/in 100yrs of human settlement in NZ (c.1300)A pig w/ a face only a mother could love.White swans just have their own elegance.Serious cuteness here...Bad hair (feather) day?Mandarin Ducks -- more cool colors.Emus are kinda fun...The Galah has a naturally stubby beak.I called these the 'Elvis Twins'.

    Like a zoo, but with a wilderness twist.
