Darter

[khiemtran]

The Australasian Darter is also known as the Snake Bird, because of its long, snake-like neck.



It's easy to see why when you see it doing this...



And this...



And this...



And how about preening the back of its own neck?



This may be taking things a bit too far.

Those twists! It's like a dance! The neck-dancing bird!

I guess it must get very boring standing there waiting for your wings to dry, so why not twist a little while you wait...

What an amazing neck :P

It's very cool. I wonder if it thinks twisting its own neck is like us playing with our fingers.
