Serious Confrontation Between Two Shoebills Through Glass
At first I thought there might be a mirror,
but it was wrong. Both shoebills seemed to be in serious mode until there was
glass between the two. However, it appears that after the glass was broken,
they got into peaceful mode of “discussion is important.”
Although they look scary, they reportedly are
so polite and respectful to a keeper that they greet him politely without fail
because they are presumably from a distinguished royal family.

Confrontation Between Two Shoebills Through Glass The Glass
Broken After Intense Glaring At Each Other (Ueno Zoo)
Shoebill broke glass with beak after faceoff!
The Shoebill is known for its “stillness like a mountain.” Reportedly, brisk movement of a shoebill was witnessed.
This scene was filmed by “Tokyo Shoebill
Club” which makes daily observations of shoebills in Japan. According to the
club, it was a lethal stroke after a faceoff through the glass.
They say that a senior shoebill is seen snuggle
up to a keeper in Ueno Zoo. The shoebill looks so happy when its head is
stroked by the keeper. It is so cute.
