Double-time Duo 9915
The Sacred Ibis, as its name implies, was a bird once held in high esteem. In Egyptian culture it was representative of the god Thoth, god of wisdom, knowledge, and writing. These birds were interred by the millions in the company of human remains. Over millennia, they became locally extinct in Egypt, due predominantly to the gradual aridification of the regions swamps and marshes. Introduced into areas of Europe, Asia, and the United States, some of these birds are now seen as a curse rather than a blessing. Extremely adaptable, they are now seen as responsible for decimating populations of breeding birds, such as terns. These strangely beautiful feathered fauna are still fairly common throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, where a world's population can hopefully learn to revere less, and respect more before all of nature's gifts disappear forever. At the rate that some species are declining we had best learn the meaning of respect in double-time. #SacredIbis #WildlifeConservation #DrDADBooks
