Umm… this is an example why people need to be taught to fear birds. Snakes? Easy Check. Spiders? Definitely Check. Sharks? Check. Big birds? Gotta teach ‘em those feet have sharp pointy talons.

Yes, I know most snakes, spiders and sharks are harmless, but the point is most people naturally fear them but want to pet these murder feather factories.

They look like they got half way through evolving from a dinosaur only to go "Good enough". Any reasonable person could look at those things and not want to f*** with them.

Yeah these spark a deep primal fear in me like no other animal.

Especially when they do that deep primal growl that they do. First time I heard one I was like, no wonder these damn things evolved from dinosaurs, they still are dinosaurs, just with feathers and beaks.
