It is a secretary bird . Note the colour and size and the longer feathers that stick out on the back of the head/neck 😃

rumour has it that those feathers are what gave the bird its name! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretarybird

It could be from those feathers, that resemble quills or from the black "leggings" that male secretaries wore in times of yore 😃
