| I think these birds look prehistoric. I think they are beautiful birds. They haven't harmed us, well just watch your lil children. They should not be wiped out one reason they where there first and we invade there territory. We need to respect the animal. Second it's talons and beak are the only things that it has to protect it's self from other animals that hunt it. Third it doesn't populate as fast as the regular birds, and fourth it is not an eating mechine like a shark. |
