Few months ago in Harbourfront here I met this woman staring at this bird, she told me his name was Charlie, he’s tame, and quite famous online. And since then I’ve been preoccupied with seeing this bird that’s doing better on YouTube than me.
I was riding by and a man sat down with a bag of seedy looking things so I asked him and get this, he’s the man who made the movie. Meet Tom, whom Charlie adores, see them on YouTube here.

Charlie is a Black-crowned Night Heron and:
– he’s a predator so is naturally very still and quiet
– he recognizes a camera and poses, he’s a ham
– his nest is East somewhere, no one’s too sure
– don’t ever stand beneath the tree he’s in
– both he and those ducks, called 2 names I shoulda written down, recognize the red&white Rabba bag, and like roast chicken and peanuts
– Tom is really nice
