    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.

      Ironically they are also fairly docile too. For a scary looking modern Dinosaur it prefers to just chill and even doesn't mind human company. now casorwary's on the other hand. Damn birds are territorial modern Raptors who just happens to like fruit but decided to keep the raptor talons to kick and slice up anyone too stupid to get near them.
