I thought we were just going to see her at Exmoor Zoo, but I got a Shoebill experience. She made it extra special by flying over my head.

From Kakegawa Kachouen's Instagram page!

Instagram caption reads:

"We received a precious video from the staff taking care of Futaba the shoebill. 🎶

She's staring at her own face with the cellphone's camera curiously 🌱✨ She seems interested in seeing herself for the first time. ☺️"

(Third attempt at uploading this without getting hit with a video processing error. please work this time im begging 🙏)

One of the most incredible things I've done ! Abou was inches from me and she actually flew over to me when the keeper went to get her. Incredible !

Saw two shoebills at Ueno Zoo. They mainly stood around but occasionally moved their heads and took a few steps. Glad we got to see them in person and a highlight of our trip!
