Artist’s impression of the size of the giant stork next to a Homo floresiensis hobbit
Storks bring babies ping.
Big Bird!
It’s a dragon...
They also had wicked big eagles.
“The Eagles are coming!” from the Hobbit and The Return of the King.
that guy in the picture, doesn’t have any junk !
The islands in that area (and Australia) have a bird called the Casawari (sp?). I recall a sign that said “... raise your hands above your head to make yourself appear larger than the bird...” I thought to myself “appear”!!!???
They have been know to attack and kill humans.
I hear hobbits are bitter tasting and runny, hardly a tasty morsel for storks.
Here we see possible origins of the dark side of the Jungian Big Bird archetype.
The Witch King of Angmar trained them and Sauron gave them to the wraiths to form the nine “winged Nazgul.”
Vince Ricardo:I was in the jungle - the bush we called it - for approximately nine months...
Sheldon: Nine months! That must have really been something!
Vince Ricardo: It was. I saw things... They have tsetse flies down there the size of eagles...these giant flies carry off the children.
If I had to bet it my money’s on the stork....
