Oh yeah, the art gallery thing was a great time! Getting to see so many people I'd interacted with only online before. What was that, early 2023?

Hmmmmm. Unsure right now. I'm rather sure I figured out who you were later.
Due to your bloodline.
Could've been 2022. Time flies. I'd have to find a pic and see what the date was. I feel it was later in the year.

So I just went and looked through my photo history, and it looks like I took the photo I submitted to the gallery on 15 January, 2023. So I think it was probably in late January or February 2023. Maybe March.
Which would mean it was less than 6 months before Reddit decided to say "screw you" to its userbase and went fully off the deep end. Which I think we probably should've seen coming, considering they fired the person internally who was working with us to organise that gallery after organisation was complete, but before the gallery actually happened, so she didn't get to come and attend the gallery she organised.
Bush stone-curlews are fairly large. They stand about half a metre tall.

They are one of the most ancient lineages of scolopacid waders, together with the godwits which look similar but have straight bills.[2] Curlews feed on mud or very soft ground,[3][4] searching for worms and other invertebrates with their long bills. They will also take crabs and similar items.
Oh, in fact, on closer inspection, the bush stone-curlew doesn't show up on the page you linked. It seems the two are not closely related, being in the same order but different families. Wikipedia isn't clear on the reason for the similar name, but I'd guess that, similar to the Australian magpie, it's because of a similar colouration and not much else.
Sociopaths and fuckwits. Photo must have been taken in Canberra...

idk about the rest of it, but that part about being in mud and having long bills doesn't seem correct for the Australian curlew, which I've usually seen around places like sports fields, parks, and people's back yards. And they have quite short beaks, more akin to a slightly skinnier version of a crow's than to the long European curlew bill.

Three Curlews.
Was this a drone shot, and how big are these birds?
Need a banana for scale...
They are actually dinosaurs and I can't tell you where this is.
But no just from my balcony about 14 stairs up.
Literally true though. (@No1@aussie.zone)
Don't @ me with your facts Zag.
