It's a jabiru (jaburu or tuiuiú in Brazil).

Yes !!! Erikuri is right.... Jaburu or TUIUIU in Brazil.

GREAT Focal point! Nice work

Nice detail in the eyes.

Great close-up. Any idea what bird this is?

I was a little too busy shooting all the birds in the aviary to pay attention to what all of them were.

So, on this one Jean, no clue.

You, of course!

Look at those red eyes...what a bird! Nice shot
