🌍🌏🌎 Glossy Ibis (Plegadis falcinellus)

The Glossy Ibis is a medium-sized wading bird with a long, decurved bill and glossy feathers. From a distance, it appears dark, but in good light, its plumage shimmers with iridescent green, purple, and bronze. It has a widespread distribution, found in warm regions across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas, favoring wetlands like marshes, swamps, and flooded fields. This is a highly social species that forages in flocks, often probing mud and shallow water for invertebrates. No subspecies are recognised. 2.5 Flash (Edited) 

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

Fun fact: The tip of the Glossy Ibis's bill has special touch sensors that allow it to feel for prey like insects and crustaceans buried in the mud.
