  • To all Futaba the Shoebill fans!
    I started a membership to support Futaba the Shoebill!
    So that Futaba can be happier than now, I would like to ask for your support in making videos that raise issues (which I have been doing for a long time). As a bonus for the members, we will tell you her real situation in photos and texts earlier than the video. You can cancel at any time, so please feel free to join us!

    This video is about the event named "Shoebill's meal time"
    (talking and feeding by the caretaker).
    There are 6 caretakers for FUTABA, he is her best favorite💕
    I have compiled short videos that I have already uploaded.
    【About FUTABA】
    This bird is the shoebill, named FUTABA.
    Shoebill is native to Africa. Bird whose DNA resembles shoebill is pelican.
    FUTABA lives in a bird park(Kakegawa kachouen) in Japan.
    Kakegawa kachouen k-hana-tori.com/eng
    This bird has almost no voice, so it makes a sound by hitting its beak.
    This is called cluttering.Bowing and cluttering are said to represent intimate feelings.
    The name "Futaba" was decided by open call for participants.
    "Futaba" means two leaves (young shoots of a plant).
    Because at that time her hairstyle was similar.

      Skit Bit - Side Split The only task he made her do was to get her on the scale. It is crucial to take the weight of animal to determine if they are losing weight or gaining weight rapidly. If the animal become underweight in a short amount of time, it can be a sign of parasites, Illnesses, or any other factor. Same for being overweight, any complication can occur. I would agree that it would be wrong if the caretaker made her perform anything else that falls into entertainment by teasing her with food. However, I don’t blame him for checking her health.

      @@Juan-zi3qs the scary thing is, they don’t even NEED teeth to be ferocious predators like dinosaurs did. They scoop their prey into their beak, leave their mouth open just enough for the prey to desperately stick its head back out of the mouth and into the open, and then the shoebill clamps its bill shut and decapitates its prey before eating it all. Said prey includes CROCODILES. Everytime I find myself thinking that avian dinosaurs were kind of lame with their feathers and other bird like qualities, I think about shoebills and geese and other terror-bird wannabes and am instantly reminded how lucky we are that dinosaurs are so small nowadays.

      It is a bit of anti-human perspective to selectively point out the worse traits without also pointing out the best.
      Humans are the most complex animals on Earth and their consciousness and intelligence allows them to manipulate their environment like no other animal can.
      This is a double edged sword as it can conflict with nature but also help preserve it.

As for my burden, it's easy to meet by pointing to the fact that the dinosaur story contradicts itself saying that countless reptiles disappeared or became birds but crocodiles and tuataras didn't die out nor had to change drastically. That's a double standard. If there was enough sun for croccs and tuataras, then dinosaurs would still exist. They don't because they never existed. They were invented to fool people into rejecting Noah's Ark by there being too many creatures to fit and too big to fit. Also, aquatic monsters akin to dinos are part of that myth and none of them are here today even though the oceans have always been teeming with food for predators meteor or not.

      As a two time Umbrella Cockatoo parent, I can attest to how critical it is to become intimately aware of the subtle eye expressions and body postured of a potentially dangerous bird, even as small as a cockatoo.
      Their bite force can be tremendous and their beak can slice like a knife. If you don't know their subtle attitude signals and you allow your bird to socialize, eventually someone is going to get hurt. And this can include 911 level injury.
      Owning and sharing my life with Umbrella Cockatoos has been extremely rewarding. They are sweet, usually gentle birds that just like to hang with their humans and entertain them. But, like driving a Ferrari, if you don't know how to handle it, you really shouldn't own it.

    It took me a moment to realise that the clattering was coming from her. I thought it was him tapping the bucket letting her know he was there.

    I love those birds, they have such beautiful feathers. Just remember to bob when you approach 😁
