- A pelican because they look ungainly on land but are graceful in the water and air;
- If the range includes mystical birds, I'd be a Roc because they're huge, scary and I could enjoy scaring the code brown out of some people;
- I'd have to be a magpie. They are clever & fearless & a protected species - bonus!!
- I would be an Emu because (like me) they don't conform and they are proud to be weird: they can't fly and can't walk backwards; but boy they give the other animals a run for their money.
