Almost every day of my Disney trip I will get a visit by one of these birds when i'm sitting on the back porch, andy they will sit there and hang out with anyone who doesn't chase them away, Does anyone else get a visit from these birds?

Those are sand Hill cranes. We usually see them in pairs, and if you're ever over in the cell phone lot at the airport, you'll definitely see them. They make quite a raquet when they fly over.

The interesting things about Sand Hill Cranes is that they are one of the few bird species that "pair bond". Meaning that they take a single mate for life. That is why you often seen them in pairs or pairs w/kids.

They have taken over our county, which is about 45 minutes from WDW. If you hit them with your car you can be fined. We've had issues with them at my house pecking the screens.

YES!!!! I've got some great pics of them with the boys! They just walk right up to them like it's nothing! We stayed at the Orange Lake Resort though....never seen them on site before :)
