Jokes Only a Zoochatter Would Understand

We have two zoos and one "aquarium" with the species, and Tampa's aviary no longer exists sadly.

Yep, and for a few years after they moved the Shoebills out of the large aviary they were in a smaller exhibit somewhere...and now they're off show.

I think they always had the smaller aviary as well. Idk if maybe they only kept them in the smaller one before the large aviary was dismantled but in 2013 they kept Shoebill in both.

I see, that means that they wouldve just stayed in the smaller exhibit then (which is where I saw them) after the larger one was dismantled.

Definitely agree, I think Emus would come in 4th worst after ostriches and eagles

The Top Six Worst Birds To Start A War Against

10. Pigeons, Corvids, Song Birds, & basic small city birds
There are just so many...

9. Geese, Swans, Ducks, Penguins & Loons
Let's face it, no one wants to go up against these hyperaggressive Loonatics.
(see what I did there?:p)

8. Vultures
First the dead and now the living! But seriously a few species drop rocks, and even bones in an attempt to crack open the bones of their prey.

7. Hawks
Essentially your basic bird of prey build.

6. Falcons
Like hawks but instead of attacking with their claws they specialize in beak warfare. Plus they're notorious for dive-bombing their prey.

5. Emus
Australia already lost a war against these guys, plus they apparently know how to calculate the range of a gun. o_O

4. Eagles
Basically larger hawks that traded their speed for more strength and power.

3. Owls
Kinda like nocturnal hawks that have unlocked stealth. They're essentially silent but when they do make noise it sounds like the gates to hell have opened up. :eek:

2. Ostriches
Emus on steroids really.

1. Cassowaries
So they're essentially a hybrid of emus and velociraptors, oh and they have a pretty awesome crest too. :cool:

I had a birthday at the Fort Worth Zoo a couple years ago. They brought out a few program animals for us to look at (tenrecs, porcupines, chinchillas, and such), but then they brought out the African penguin... My gramps tried to pet it for some reason so it bit his finger. We still make fun of him for that to this day. :D
