It's been 45 years since I've last PERSONALLY seen these adorable, Star-Wars-At-At-like, puffballs. They are about the size of a Ping-Pong Ball with 4 inch (10 cm) long legs! They are able to run VERY fast just a few minutes after being hatched. There were three of them on the lawn at my grandson's school that were able to outrun cars and curious children. They are the MOST adorable baby birds you have ever seen!
