Clicked at the Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary, this large wading bird in the Stork family is found mainly in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Their name is derived from the distinctive gap formed between the recurved lower and arched upper mandible of the beak in adult birds. The cutting edges of the mandible have a fine brush like structure that is thought to give them better grip on the shells of snails. The usual foraging habitats are inland wetlands and are only rarely seen along river banks and tidal flats. On agricultural landscapes, birds forage in crop fields, irrigation canals, and in seasonal marshes. Groups may forage together in close proximity in shallow water or marshy ground on which they may walk with a slow and steady gait. They feed mainly on large molluscs separating the shell from the body of the snail using the tip of their beak.

Kopi luwak is traditionally made from the faeces of wild civets, however, due to it becoming a trendy drink, civets are being increasingly captured from the wild and fed coffee beans to mass-produce this blend. Many of these civets are housed in battery cage systems which have been criticised on animal welfare grounds. The impact of the demand for this fashionable coffee on wild palm civet populations is yet unknown but may constitute a significant threat. In Indonesia, the demand for Asian palm civets appears to be in violation of the quota set for pets.
Le Kopi Luwak est traditionnellement fabriqué à partir des excréments de civettes sauvages. Cependant, comme il est devenu une boisson à la mode, les civettes sont de plus en plus capturées dans la nature et nourries avec des grains de café pour produire en masse ce mélange. Beaucoup de ces civettes sont hébergées dans des systèmes de cages en batterie qui ont été critiquées pour des raisons de bien-être animal. L'impact de la demande de ce café à la mode sur les populations de civettes de palmiers sauvages est encore inconnu mais peut constituer une menace importante. En Indonésie, la demande de civettes asiatiques semble violer les quotas fixés pour les animaux de compagnie.
Happy and peaceful Easter to all my friends !
I like the Chinese name of this bird that means"bird of peace"
Thank you for your faves and comments...
