About These Birds
Hadada Ibis
76 cm. Greyish-brown; iridescent purple-green shoulder patch; bare grey-pink facial skin; reddish bill stripe. Very common and widespread across sub-Saharan Africa; increasingly colonises urban parks and gardens. Feeds on earthworms and invertebrates in lawns and open ground. Known for loud, far-carrying calls.
Roseate Spoonbill
The roseate spoonbill is the only spoonbill species in the Americas and one of the most striking wading birds in the Western Hemisphere. Like flamingos, their pink color comes from carotenoid pigments in their crustacean prey. Nearly hunted to extinction for their plumes in the 19th century, they have recovered substantially.
