These are one weird looking bird. They have a tendency to freeze when aproached which is great for the photog. The parents would pick up food from the ground and the chick would rush over to see what it was. The parent would then drop the food and the chick then picked it up to eat.

I agree, they're certainly not winning any beauty contest.

I love the similar poses by the parent and the chick in 3 and 4.
