As the description says, this is a typical nib topic :D

Anyways, what's the rarest bird you've ever seen? Also, by rare I mean rare for your country (A blackbird which is the most common bird in my country, may be very rare in someone else's!).

I think mine is the Black Redstart which I saw last year.

I guess Aaron and I can say the Emu, second largest flightless bird, after the African Ostrich. Emus may travel at up to 50km/h and can grow up to 190cm in height.

I'd put up a picture, but I can't be bothered, I'm doing my maths assignment, just look the bird up at Wikipedia :lol:

Heh I know that bird, haven't seen it. Maybe in an animal park but that doesn't count :p

Do we have to see it in real life or do pictures count?

In 1997 on my way to truck driving school I saw a cloud formation that with no imagination required resembled a Phoenix flying into the rising sun. It was just before sunrise and the cloud was a bright angry red. Sadly this was before my digital camera days and I didn't have a film camera handy. I'd have given anything for a snapshot.

That I suppose is about as real as a Phoenix can be methinks.

The best things in life, aren't things.
