The birds are Australian Ibis. You can see the Egyptian Ibis on the walls of the pyramids, very easy to spot by their specific shape. The Australia Ibis is a waterbird and the wetlands are their natural habitat where they feed on fish, crustaceans and small mammals. They used to be found in the wetlands of NSW but they dried up due to a combination of long drought and man constructing on their former habitat, so they were forced to search for other water and food sources so they headed east and found themselves in a totally new environment. Unfortunately their diet now consists of fast food items since so many people throw away what they didn’t eat, and the Ibis observed them, which earned them the unglamorous title of “bin chickens”, a term of mockery, but it was humans who caused it in the first place., and unfortunately, the city we work so hard to keep clean, is making these white birds look filthy. We would too, if we wore white every day! To me, they are beautiful waterbirds who look so majestic in flight and don’t deserve to be unappreciated. 🇦🇺❤️🪽
