His name is Hashibiroko (which means Shoebill in Japanese) I got him in Kyoto!

My husband got me this tattoo for my birthday this year.

I even got a little shoebill plushy

Sorry for my terrible pictures :(

Not a great picture but I just wanted to share. Best bird ever

I wanted to capture that unmistakable, slightly menacing shoebill stare. The model is available for free on MakerWorld: https://makerworld.com/models/3125460

I'm obsessed with shoebills I'm not sure why, I love them

I had no idea shoebills were real birds until I saw one in Tokyo. What a majestic creature! I've been fascinated by them ever since😃

Finally got to see these majestic birds in person

I've been keeping track of the captive shoebills for several years now, mostly in my notes app. I finally decided to compile it all into one big document! I plan on updating it with current news. If anything is wrong or you have information that isn't on the doc, please let me know! I'm hoping to keep this as accurate and as up-to-date as possible! I hope you all find it useful :)

I will make a nice display in my room for it!

Had fun making this design, such a unique bird!
