Ibises are long-legged wading birds known for their distinctive curved bills, which they use to probe mud and shallow water for food. They primarily feed on insects, crustaceans, and small fish. These birds are often found in wetlands, marshes, and along the edges of rivers and lakes. There are several species of ibises, including the Sacred Ibis and the Glossy Ibis. They are social birds, often seen in flocks, and are known for their striking plumage, which can vary from white to dark iridescent colors. Ibises play an important role in their ecosystems by helping to control insect populations.
