Very cool bird! I've never heard of it before. What a fitting name.

The species is renowned for its enormous nests, several of which it builds during the breeding season. Unusually for a wading bird, the species constructs its nest with an internal nesting chamber where the eggs are laid. Both parents incubate the eggs and raise the chicks.

Very odd semi-webbed feet too. I'll have to read more on these guys.
