Australian Ibis

The Australian White Ibis (*Threskiornis molucca*), often referred to as the "Bin Chicken," is a large, unmistakable wading bird that has become a familiar sight in both natural wetlands and urban areas across much of Australia. Recognisable for its bare black head, long down-curved bill, and white body, this highly adaptable species has shifted from traditional wetland habitats to city parks, making it one of the country’s most visible and now iconic urban birds.
