I guess when viewing this from South Africa, we could call it Ostrich. 😂 Awesome pic btw.

Nice find, always interesting to hear from another cultural (as opposed to mine) perspective. Thanks.

@APoD 🥥 There's a distribution of heavenly bodies in the #MilkyWay that looks to me like a #CanadaGoose.
Not really surprising since those birds seem to be pooping everywhere these days. 🥥
