Very unusual Alex. I went like that when I saw the Pond Heron in Darwin
last week.

I was watching a show about Jungles on the weekend and saw a short
segment 
about the Red Capped Manakin.

As a part of its mating/courtship display it does the moonwalk. It's the

funniest thing I have seen a bird do for a long time. Also quite
incredible 
behaviour.

You can see a video of it if you go to youtube (www.youtube.com) site
and 
type 'moonwalking bird' into the search bar.
