This buff-crested bustard is about 2 months old, and almost fully grown. From about 10 days or so they look like miniature versions bustards, it's painfully adorable. Buff-crested bustards also have a nasty habit of starting to attack their mom's when they reach maturity. This one started doing that at an age where he couldn't feed himself, but thankfully stopped a day or so later. More
