On my phone it first looked like the bird was standing in the crosswalk and not on the handlebar, and I thought ‘you’re right, I wouldn’t get near that thing either’
Great blue herons Nest together in rookies in the trees. Out here on the West Coast you can always hear them raising a den. Very hard Birds to photograph as you can't really get near them when they're out standing around looking for fish
This reminds me of the huge wood stork that was blocking the path at Gatorland in Orlando. How do you make him get out of the way without upsetting him?
Most blue birds aren’t blue by normal pigments so in low light the blue isn’t nearly as visible. Blue herons aren’t generally vivid blue to begin with (more grey-blue like a cloudy sky) so in low orange-yellow light it’s not surprising the blue isn’t very visible.
Fun fact. They call it a waterbird, but it's actually sort of a predator. Apart from fish, they also eat mice, frogs, ducklings and even baby bunny rabbits.

The timing on these live action remakes is getting nuts. 'The Boy and the Heron' only came out like a year ago.

Looks like this is from Japan, so the task is pretty clear here: Whip out your paper and brush, then paint it!

That is clearly an 8 foot tall bird standing in the crosswalk.

You're going nowhere, from heron.

Shame they’re using the Nazi AI to translate
LadyGreybird
Can this bird be hugged? Is this a huggable bird?
sometimesarobot
I don't think they're particularly aggressive beyond nest defense, but they got pointy beaks and can stab you with it

Birds aren’t real. Thats a government spy drone.
mouse209
Exactly. Look at those long antennas. That's your typical B1-RD 5G range extender.

Omnidirectional burbs are the worst

Looks like a Great Blue Heron

Herons, stilettos with wings.

It’s definitely a heron but I’m not sure it’s a blue heron.

It doesn't look that great at being blue. Unless that's its emotional state?

Could also be what happens at family friendly bars after 11 pm

I think he lost his drill...

If the OP is a boy, I believe the heron is trying to take the Boy to a magical world where he can meet his mom before she died...

Fun fact, horses also eat birds and mice. Everything is on a spectrum.

Yeah they hang out around the shore. I think they'll eat just about anything they can fit in their mouths.
711isAnInsideJob
I bet it would eat a human baby if you offered it one
Probablyimaginary
If it fits, its food. They're all just limited by the size of their mouth and stomach.
