Greater Rhea (Rhea americana) - 13Aug2022

The Greater Rhea is the largest bird in the Americas.  I saw this one in Aquadauana in the state of Mato Grosso do Sol in Brazil.


Greater Rheas were named after the Greek Goddess Rhea, who knows why.

Although their natural range is only in South America, there is a feral population in Germany that has established itself with over 100 birds that are completely wild!
