    Now here's where things get weird, shoebill storks are not only know to be generally accepting of and friendly towards humans, but bowing to them is what they perceive as a deliberate sign of respect and friendliness and they will be quite happy to interact with you afterwards. This is a natural behavior.

The bowing is so respectful, but i don't quite understand what the headshaking means, but it is cute just the same.

      @@TheScreamingKettle plus they have the weird habit of having 2+ eggs and then letting the firstborn bully the other one until it dies or the parents themselves would give zero fucks about the second born and starve it to death because why have two average birds when you can have one strong child and kill the other one because it became weak (more like they made it weak). Dont get me wrong, I love this bird, but thats a strange method of ensuring your species doesnt go extinct.
