ED & LINDY'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURES....... In 2000, we began a website
chronicling our travels. After using that site for 17 years, technology changed; it can no longer be updated. Welcome to our NEW SITE which follows our journeys from the Fall of 2016 to present. Our thanks go to Andy Paluch/WebGuyz!
This is the largest flying bird of Africa, a Kori Bustard. Males typically weigh 19kg (~42 lb). Definitely a large bird! It will not fly unless it absolutely must for survival. Kori Bustards are omnivores, eating both plants (like berries) and animals (lizards and snakes).
