One time I went to the zoo with my parents. We were in the aviary building and I was passing a glassed-in area. It was dark and I was totally unprepared for one of these things popping up less than a foot away from me.
they're completely real, they're called Frogmouths, but they look like some sort of scary-ass muppet shit, don't they?
They just looked so
wrong, like their eyes and beaks were too big for their bodies, and it was just
staring at me. I went home and had nightmares for weeks.
