Scarlet Red Ibis
The Scarlet Ibis is a species of ibis in the bird family Threskiornithidae. It inhabits tropical South America and islands of the Caribbean. In form it resembles most of the other twenty-seven extant species of ibis, but its remarkably brilliant scarlet coloration makes it unmistakable. Ibises have curved slender bills that they use to probe into shallow water, mud or grass when foraging. As with flamingos, the brilliant red colour of the scarlet ibis comes from carotene found in the crustaceans on which it feeds. The scarlet ibis is a gregarious bird, living, travelling, and breeding in flocks.
