Even though its beak looks like it could tear open a bear's stomach, they still walk like they are afraid of stepping on something.

I read about them and they are quite docile with humans. You—if you are braver than me—can approach them as close as two meters (And then what? It doesn't say.) There is a smaller one at the local, fairly large, zoo I am told. That is one very freaky looking birb.

I'd be docile as well if I was packing a flesh ripping hook beak like that:

"Yeah, dude, you come as close as you like. Look at me funny, though, I'm gonna gut you and wear you like a human suit."
