that's so cool. i always value the human animal bonds in which the animal still remains wild. jake sounded very cool, but those poor little chipmuncks and peafowl chicks

Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated. Re diet - Maribous look slow and ungainly, but they are very effective predators. Some wild populations specialize in feeding upon flamingo chicks during the breeding season; they are useful scavengers as well. Best, Frank
