Scary, Scary Bird

We spent a good 20 minutes at the Basel Zoo looking at this bird. It completely freaks me out. If you look closely it has two heads! The front one is a decoy, complete with eye. It is completely incredible! *and gross*

Turkey Vulture?

Or is it some other bird? Got to be a vulture since it has no feathers on its head- Thats because they can't clean their heads of the rotting flesh. Cool, huh?

Never knew about the head decoy. Neat.
