The birds coarse, shaggy dark grey to black feathering covers its head and neck, with a slightly sparse distribution that reveals patches of pale, blue-tinged skin beneath, especially around the face. The most captivating feature is the pair of large, vivid orange-brown eyes, which stare out with a keen, somewhat prehistoric intensity. The short, dark bill is well-suited for cropping grass and manipulating fruit, though the focus here remains entirely on the powerful, curious expression of this flightless, highly nomadic denizen of the Australian plains and woodlands.
