Groundhornbill

This flock of murder birds approached the car window. Maybe people have been feeding them? Some of them were too close for the lens to focus.

A turkey sized bird with a knife for a face. And despite the name, they can definitely fly.

We’re in Pretoriuskop after a bit of an exhausting day yesterday. Got up to go driving around at 4 AM and didn’t settled down in our new place here until 5 PM.

“The cult members wear coal-black cloaks and bloody red masks. They strike with great curved daggers.” The Ground Hornbill is the largest and most powerful hornbill - about the size of a turkey. Despite their name, they can fly - an awesome sight. They make short work of reptiles and small mammals.
