User's notes
Two adults and two chicks. John and Janet visit their property at Yaouk almost every week and said that when the chicks were very tiny the family had a habit of sitting out in the middle of the road. The first time they saw them John stopped the car and rather than get off the road, the female fluffed out her feather and spread her wings preparing to take on the car.
