Hey guys. First 'real' post i've made here since i got here. I've posted this theory at another forum, but i wanted to know what you guys think about it.
I've been doing some digging around the internet that could indicate me to something that could be related to the Hurley Bird. I haven't got that much yet, but i found some stuff that could be fitting on the show's large parrot look-a-like.
I have found this, regarding a Aboriginal God of the ancient australian people called Altjira.
"(Oceanian mythology)
The otiose sky father of the Aranda tribes in central Australia. He is conceived of as a man in the sky with feet like an emu; his wives and daughters have feet like dogs. Strange or malformed feet are a common feature of spirits or ancestors in aboriginal belief. Witness such epithets as ‘foot dog’, ‘foot body’, ‘toes-feet-rough’, and ‘bone foot’, Altjira is erina itja arbamanakala, ‘him none made’. His name is also connected with the verb to dream; he is, therefore, looked upon as the remote deity of the ‘dream time’, when the subterranean ancestral spirits left their slumber to roam the earth. Altjira gave the world its present form and then removed himself to the top of the sky, while the other ‘eternal ones of the dream’ sank back into their earthly abode. The Aranda say that today Altjira is indifferent to mankind."
I also found some extended 'powers' related to him. But that's from a comic book perception of this god.
"Altjira showed the ability to shape-shift. He seemingly appeared while people were asleep and liked to cause chaos. He possessed many other powers as a god, but they were not yet shown. "
Shape-shifting was, to this day, something we all thought that only Smokie could do. But what if some of those were in fact "Hurley Bird" Altjira?
Here's a pic of the Hurley Bird:

Now, here's a comic book drawing of Altjira:

They look fairly similar, huh? I don't know what this could mean, yet, but i thought you guys could give some ideas. :D
