Bryan Robertson notes that in 1965, the birds 'began to walk on tall, stilt-like legs which afford them a clearer view. Their mouths have become glinting slits in heads armoured like an insect's. Their large heads and hunched deformity suggest a malicious intelligence - these creatures are not to be trusted'
(B. Robertson, Op. cit., p.56)
