Anyone know what this is
On a recent trip to QLD spotted this strange looking bird, the thing hanging from its neck seems to be a pouch or bag of some sort. So if anyone from outback Winton or Longreach can identify this bird SWMBO would be most grateful.

It is a male Australian Bustard..
It inflates that huge bag and then roars its mating call.

what a bustard !!
reminds me of a limerick my dad told me.
the bustards an exquisit fowl
with minimal reason to growl
he escapes what would be
illegitimacy
by grace of a fortunate vowel.
what if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about?
