Shoebill Stork Gives His Handler the Cold Shoulder

Occurred on May 20, 2022 / Uganda Info from Licensor: "A shoebill stork in Uganda named Sushi is famously moody. In this clip, filmed in May 2022, his handler tries to approach Sushi at the Uganda Wildlife Education Center while he is making the characteristic machine-gun like sounds that his species is famous for. Sushi gets an attitude and brushes him off with a sassy wing flip before sauntering off. This video is an excellent example of the hilarious and entertaining attitude of the famous Shoebill stork, a most prehistoric-looking bird. This video is also wonderful because it allows people to hear the actual unique sounds of the shoebill. Shoebills are extremely popular, especially in Japan, and I think people will enjoy this funny animal video a lot! Credit: RetreaTours"
