Sacred Ibis

The Sacred Ibis (scientific name Threskiornis aethiopicus) is an African
representative of the ibises (Threskiornithidae), a family of wading birds
with webbed feet, related to the herons, storks and pelicans.  Other well
known ibis species include the scarlet ibis and glossy ibis.  The body is
about 65-75 cm (2-3 feet) long.  It has white plumage on the body, with black
on the tail and large, strong wings.  The head, legs and large, curved bill
are black and featherless.  Males and females are similar, but the smaller
young have off-white plumage and some feathers on their neck.
