Yellow-billed Spoonbill

The Yellow-billed Spoonbill (Platalea flavipes) is a large wading bird endemic to Australia and belonging to the family Threskiornithidae.

Adults are entirely white in body plumage and measure 76–92 cm in length with a wingspan of approximately 120–125 cm. During the breeding season, birds develop filamentous plumes …

59–76 cm. White with black neck bristles; bare dark head; yellowish bill. Endemic to Australia in grasslands, pastures, and inland wetlands. Nomadic; follows rainfall across the continent. Feeds on insects and invertebrates in dry grassland. Often seen in mixed flocks with Australian Ibis.
