thus enabled to escape from danger. It flies 

 very slowly, with its wings extended to their 

 full length, which is about seven feet. The 

 flesh of the Jabiru has a fishy taste, caused 

 by the food upon which it feeds. In its 

 native state it is very shy and timid, and 

 very wary, but when domesticated, as it 

 has been sometimes, it is a most friendly 

 and social bird.
