I'm not so sure, guys. Looks more like a purple-nippled farm heron from South America. Or possibly that, crossed with a roadrunner.

Bearded blue heron it is. Cool looking bird!

My little herd of does that I feed, I affectionately call them “my girls” were feeding pretty close to him and neither of them could care less. It was pretty cool to watch
