The Sacred Ibis lives in large colonies near waterways throughout Africa. These birds have slender, curved bills that they use to probe into shallow water, mud or grass when foraging. This species is a gregarious bird, living, traveling, and breeding in flocks. In flight, they form diagonal lines or v-formations.

Gorgeous character in such an usual shaped bird on a handmade steel stand, quite a striking piece for any collection. This bird passed away from natural causes in a zoo in the UK.
