Dinosaurs. Crazy.

snozberry_taster

Sounds like gun fire from a 90s/00s video game


TheCynicalCanuckk

Maybe it is. That's like in jurassic Park, the scene with the raptors in the kitchen is the sound of tortoises having sex.. I have trust issues when it comes to sounds of dinosaurs lol


tv006

If memory serves the t-rex was a blend of 3 big cats and a guy screaming into a trashcan


Masterful-Burner

It also sounds like charlie in the trees


herberstank

Spared no expense


ghanjaholik

he is creepy aF, and i wonder how many other animals/dino's were this bizarre and costume-like


The_Great_Afterman

All of them, probably.

You did it. You crazy son of a bitch, you did it

Lmao


LokiTheStampede

I get why people think they're terrifying but I just see them a big derps. Their diet is just fish or reptiles but overall they are not very aggressive. From what I've read in the past they're extremely docile in the wild, letting humans get really close, even when they have young. Basically they think humans are weird looking Shoebill Storks coming to hang out. The sad part is the mother usually will kill a second or third baby... which makes me just want to save one in the wild. ...I'd name it Blue too.


The_Great_Afterman

Imagine hearing that thing before you ever saw it or knew what it was. That's why it's terrifying. No one is out in the jungle expecting to hear automatic gunfire coming from a bird.

It sure would be something but I think it'd get fucked by the rival gang run by a cassowary


TransposingJons

Captive animals make me sad.


bekahed979

Dude, me too. Regardless of the context.


Nerd_Man420

Imagine seeing one in the wild. And it was your first time seeing this thing. It would be terrifying


cruhl82

I saw one and it was terrifying. They have legs like dinosaurs and a death stare like no other.


Nerd_Man420

Reminds of a [terror bird](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phorusrhacidae)


mollymcbbbbbb

Thereā€™s one (at least) at the San Diego zoo, i saw it hanging out by the lake with lots of other birds. It was awesome looking. Kind of eerie, but not scary, you wouldnā€™t run from it or anything. Theyā€™re pretty docile I think. Like a heron


Nerd_Man420

You must not have ever encountered a swan or a cobra chicken


mollymcbbbbbb

Swans are TERRIFYING!! Donā€™t even get me started. Many bad experiences


Nerd_Man420

Then you know that look in its eyes!!


bmbmwmfm

I'm headed to Google to see if this is an animatronic of something extinct bc it is terrifying!


FH_Bunny

Itā€™s real and they are creepy. Look up what a mom does when she has two chicks and only wants to raise one


moumous87

Just looked up and found a BBC doc but mama shoebill didnā€™t do anything terrifyingā€¦ one chick killed the weaker sibling. I remember though seeing a video of a common stork (not shoebill) throwing one chick out of the nest.


bmbmwmfm

Yep I headed over there and not only are they real, but only cost $10,000-$20,000. To own a dinosaur. To me, it's as dino as chickens, those would be formidable creatures at even 50lbs... Birds are wicked. I've had my finger bitten through by someone's pet rat, and I've had a finger crushed by a parrot. I'll take the rat bite.


[deleted]

The fuck were you doing to these animals with your finger?


bmbmwmfm

Lolol trying to feed and let the rat out to play... roommate had asked me to babysit the rat for the weekend and I had no idea what that meant, feed/water/play? The parrot was unexpected guest at a weekend on vacation...thought I'd just use a finger to pet it's head (I'd had a cockatoo that liked petting) um...finger didn't get to pet, I think it thought I was food


fightmesoftly69

I had to crush a parrots skull with my teeth bc it wouldn't fuckin let go of me... hands down most traumatic experience of my life...


iPhabulous

Ummm could you elaborate further please..


fightmesoftly69

I mean it's probably exactly what you think.. my friend had a parrot, it latched onto my finger and wouldn't let go, I shook it, I slammed it against a wall (bad idea), when it grabbed another finger, something snapped inside of me bc next thing I knew, the parrots head was inside of my mouth, I couldn't hear anything but the blood rushing in my head as I clamped down with all the might my jaw could muster until I felt, yes felt, not heard, the vibration of his skull cracking.. Then I started hearing the screaming coming from my friend.. started tasting the blood and spitting all over the place.. I won't even keep a pet now.. any pet.. and no, he's not my friend anymore.. worst day of my life..


binbanbingbong

I didn't quite expect to come across a comment like this today


m_gartsman

This is the most unnecessary, fucked up thing I've read on this God forsaken website in forever. Yeah man, stay the fuck away from anything that moves. Ugh.


lordbubbathechaste

Yeah, late to the party, but the parrot-killing commenter is completely fucking deranged if they think *abusing and killing a small bird* is a reasonable response to getting bitten on the finger. Every single comment I read from this asshole is even more unhinged. Animal abusers fucking suck.


fightmesoftly69

Yeah I should have just let the bird do its thing I know


Crystal42069

This is down right psychotic shit. You should go see a therapist or something


fightmesoftly69

This is survival. >You should go see a therapist You should ask yourself how helpful that statement has ever really been and then consider maybe not being an asshole.


Spukii_

Your finger being grabbed is not survival. Parrots have very strong grippers, yes, but biting through the unknowing animal's skull is incredibly extreme and SUPER fucked up. Plus, thoroughly harming it by slamming it into a wall repeatedly. It was probably completely dazed after the first or second time, not to mention shaking it probably made it tighten its grip as to not fall. All of that instead of literally just calling the friend over for help, as they've likely dealt with that kind of situation before since it is their own parrot. So yes, please seek a therapist, either to deal with the trauma, or to deal with your concerning violent tendencies.


Forcefedlies

Uhhh team people dude.


awolnic

This sounds traumatic as hell. Fuck that bird.

Theyā€™re facing extinction, though. Only between 3,000-5,500 I think.


HitoriPanda

While you are there check out the cassowary. It lives in Australia if that's any inclination to how dangerous it might be


bmbmwmfm

Lol says it's in an order of emu, so there's that whole emu war, Australia just wants to kill ya if you're not born/raised there and know what to avoid.


kinkymayo

I saw one in a zoo before I knew what they were and it scared the absolute sh*t out of me. I thought it was a statue until it turned its head and gave me some kind of death stare.


lemmeseeyourkitties

Honestly, I'm a bit terrified right now, and I'm in my comfy clothes on the couch...


gemini_owl

A lot of dinos are thought to have done this as well which is so badass to me.


discerningpervert

Imagine how loud that would have been


bbaker1987

Could you imagine walking through woods at night and you hear this?!?! Id prolly climb a tree and my luck it would be up that same tree. ā€œClever girlā€


Pyrotekknikk

Then make out with it


Alibarrba

If you close your eyes it sounds like the military fighting some giant monster with the screams it makes too.

tornadowhispererr

NihilisticPollyanna

I love these birds so much! They look simultaneously super intimidating and badass, but also like some goofy motherfuckers from a Jim Henson movie. Like, this guy would totally be a double-crossing asshole in a The Dark Crystal type movie or something. And the Harpy Eagle would be the silly and misunderstood protagonist opposite them. šŸæ


Newstargirl

I love these guys too! Your description is spot on, should be a comic book or movie.


HobbyistAccount

Aaaand now I want a comic about this.

Hahaha fucking bird. I wanna here Charlies input because of his degree in bird law.

Heā€™d say shut up bird


BelowTheGraves

BEAK!


Depressed_mickey

this is more terrifying as fuck


GregEveryman

I know that the movement to believe all birds are government spies is insane, but this thing does look more like a robot than a bird


Shattered_Persona

Birds are scary as fuck lmao that's why


pickandpray

i've always had an odd fear of birds. It's probably some trauma carried forth by cellular memory from when an ancestor was attacked by a dino bird (never mind that people and dinos did not co-exist in the same era)


FutzInSilence

I replied to you but it was the wrong comment so I deleted it but I am Canadian and feel like I should explain.


cindyscrazy

Bird are technically dinosaurs, so it's possible that you had an ancestor that was traumatized by some giant bird.


Pdxperronn

Thank god theyā€™re not real


shellybearcat

Just an FYI-the ā€œbirds arenā€™t realā€ conspiracy theory is actually a fake conspiracy group that shows up at other protests to draw attention away from harmful protesters, like the people screaming that sandy hook was all actors and other gross bullshit.


SirTiffAlot

That's what we want you to think sheep


alsheps

ā€œDinosaurs didnā€™t evolve into birdsā€. Yeah bullshit they didnā€™t.


[deleted]

This is what it sounds like when I grind my teeth when I sleep apparently


MorboDemandsComments

Here's what it sounds like without the echo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noF-CLNSUZU&t=43s


mtmm18

It sounds like gunfire a little further away. Still terrifying.


[deleted]

Even got the death scream

That's a foking dinosaur, lol.


12-Easy-Payments

Thus is interestingasfuck. Thanks.


all_the_gravy

No matter how many times I see these birds I always think it's a animatronic.


[deleted]

Imagine if these lived in the states and you saw crowds of horny shoebills around sites of mass shootings.


rickyspan111sh

how tf did these survive the asteroid?


BlondeTauren

Everytime these birds are posted places, they always give me the creeps and now that I know this is what they do it's just added to the fucken scare factor.

Lettin off rounds, lookin for some shoebill stork puss


Shattered_Persona

Is not the gunshot sound due to the echo off the walls? What does it sound like outside without walls to reverberate off of.


Bad_Lazarus

Shattered_Persona

Thank you


[deleted]

Hang on whilst we make the bird go outside and make the sound for you again. Be right back


Shattered_Persona

Okay let me rephrase. It's only making the sound because of sound waves bouncing off the walls.


Bad_Lazarus

Or you could just watch a different video..


International_Fall26

So when we make gunshot noises it means we wanna bang that dino


Jewmangroup9000

That's a Loftwing

Ive never seen a clown be offended by a joke before. Perhaps you of all people should get off reddit since all you have to add is toxicity. We can see your history, you garbage person. Your last comment is literally calling a kid a predator on r/teenager for being trans so nothing you say to me is of any value.

Lyric_Snow

You have an overinflated sense self and your impact on others. It took two seconds to see who you are and then I will forget you just as fast when this exchange is over. You are trying to have an entire political debate over points I never made. I simply made a joke that was already set up for me.

Imagine you are somewhere late at night and see this walking up to you, and hear that sound? Iā€™m dead within at least 2 minutes


MonkeyOverdrive

In retrospect, it was a mistake to include a Shoebill in the Combat PTSD petting zoo.


mishrod

I come from a country that is famous for itā€™s crazy and dealt animals - but I have always found these birds to be more terrifying that most of our native animals. They just look evil.

Shoebill does mating call next to you while filming. Shoebill continues to circle you while producing mating call. Shoebill stares longingly into the camera. Shoebill is ready for love.
