It's called a shoebill

Well finally! Now we can show those who call the Loftwings "overgrown ducks" that they've taken after these shoebills. Great find!

No I think only in grey. Don't get caught spraying it though, because you'll get arrested for animal abuse.

Huh, how interesting. These birds seem to be quite large, and the resemblance is uncanny. However they lack the big bushy tail that the Loft Birds have, not that I expected to see birds with a tail. It makes a lot of sense they would be modeled after such a big bird, even though it is a stork.

Is it possible to resize the images?

Hmm you could be right, they do have similarities but their tail like Destiny said is not like the Loft Wing. Who knows maybe Nintendo based the Loft Wing on this bird!

If only you could really fly on them! All it takes is a zelda fan with some test tubes with a nack for genetics.
