This is a red legged seriema.

They also look funny floofed up.

One was gathering sticks

It would fly down to the ground

And walk around looking down

Until it found a stick

Once it had a beak full

It would start looking up at the tree

Then it would do a little hop onto a low branch of the tree, usually losing half of the sticks

And look up again

And then hop up to the nest.

And then back down to gather more sticks.

It’s friend was gathering bark.

I don’t know why it wanted bark
But it was very picky about getting chunks of bark
They do look easier to carry than the sticks
It didn’t lose nearly as many hunks of bark hopping up into the tree
So maybe this is the smart one
Probably, because it never looked like this.
