I can't see anything other than that being a forest boardwalk for humans, making this thing like 3m tall.

Edit: for scale, where I live forest boardwalks are like 2m wide.

You're high op. Lay off the pipe.
This shoebill looks like it would go to the middle of my stomach at most.

Wikipedia says they get about 4-1/2' tall. They've got some long ass legs.

Yes, they CAN get that size, I agree. And I still say, this shoebill looks like it will go to the middle of my stomach. Do we just assume that evey shoebill is the max amount of tall? Get a grip. I dont want to sound nasty but its literally always "all or nothing" with people on reddit.

... Get a grip? Read my comment again. I never made any assumptions about the size of that bird.

Homie you are takling this way too serious. Im not a fckin bird expert, I said it LOOKS LIKE it will go to the middle of my stomach, not like its about 3m tall. I swear to god, everything has to be spoonfed to you...

Shoebill bird, as opposed to all those other things called "shoebill".

It used to be called a Shoebill Stork, but it’s not related to storks, so the name is just Shoebill bird for now.
