Shoebill Stork Is The Real Life Hippogriff

Subscribe to Caters Clips: Subscribe to StoryTrender: ’ ----------------------------------------------- Watch incredible giant bird who only allows people to come close to him if they bow before him first - just like Harry Potter character Buckbeak! The enormous grey Shoebill Stork, named Sushi, looks and acts just like the mythical character from Harry Potter and anyone wishing to pat the bird must firstly bow before coming within touching distance. Once you bow Sushi bows back before allowing you to stroke him. If you do not bow your head to Sushi, he flies off before you can come close. This footage was captured by amateur photographer Mark Dudley while on holiday at the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre in Entebbe with his daughter Isla.
