Mister Gain 1,759 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I've been within a few feet of one in a BoP sanctuary and yes, they are massive and look quite menacing. This one was on guard duty as the female was behind him on the nest incubating an egg. They do get to fly at the sanctuary. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
