Skepticism, logical rebuttals, and related comments are welcome. What I find is unfortunate is to read comments such as busterggi’s in which the debunking is based on an apparent lack of reading of the facts.

Three children and four adults (you can look up their names – I could write them down but it is clear to me people need to read the original accounts) reported two birds that had wingspans of 8-10 ft across on a 4 ft long body. That’s much different than what is written here about a “terrified kid” and “hysterical mother” (please note the loaded language used) seeing a “bird with a 6 foot wingspan.”

Please do your homework before criticizing the Lowe account by trying to come up with theories about how it “looked like” some shoulder-landing birds were only “seriously trying to” carry off a boy. He was carried.

Marlon Lowe, according to multiple witnesses, was lifted 2 feet off the ground and carried 35 feet from the backyard to the frontyard!

Not everyone that lives on a farm is a farmer or familiar with wildlife, farm animals, or even peafowl.

The crested cranes have a head crest, and so the “head crest” was not a dead giveaway if you are talking to the papers in the middle of a media circus and looking for exotic and strange answers.
