These are spoonbills. What attracts me is the long bill/beak with a flattened tip which looks like a flattened spoon. Wonder if I can use the long bill as a spoon to scoop food or not? (but before I can do that, I need to detach the bill from the spoonbill first :P .. sounds very cruel, so better don't..)
The hungry bird searching for food... Don't you think they look clumsy with that long, spoon-like bills or beaks? Looks kinda "out of proportion", right?
Besides the long beaks/bills, these spoonbills have long legs too (in comparison with other birds), but definitely not as long as the cutie flamingoes..Just a side topic...
Half way writing this post, I remembered someone who is supposed to sound like ducky (he self proclaimed that). Why ah? cos the spoonbill looks like mutated duck .. Hahaha, you know who you are, right? After a surprised phone call yesterday, the conclusion is... you definitely doesn't sounds like a duck (hahaha... Ben, please don't drool till tsunami after reading this, okie? ;) ) And all the best in exam....
