Hadada ibis | Onyiko Denis

🐦 ¡Cómo gritan los Ibis Hadada! 🇿🇦 Son aves exóticas provenientes del África subsahariana, fácilmente reconocibles por su pronunciado pico curvo. ❤️ A mi me encanta escucharlos. #ZoodeSantillana #SantillanadelMar #Cantabria #Zoo #IbisHadada #África #Grito #VenalZoodeSantillana #ViviendoenunZoo | Zoológico y Parque Cuaternario de Santillana del Mar

LEGENDARY SONGBIRD: 🎶Wayne the Hadada Ibis loves impressing visitors at our Wonders of the Wild show with his beautiful three-to-four note call. He is very vocal, and his species is well known across its home of southern Africa for this distinctive song. In fact, the species’ name in many languages is onomatopoeic; it imitates the sound of this call. Go ahead and listen again. What onomatopoeia name would you come up with? | Dallas Zoo

Here’s Phil, the hadada Ibis, showing off his probing skills after the rains over the weekend. These guys can sense bugs moving with their beaks as they probe through marshy and damp areas. This behavior is also a benefit to the ecosystem as it helps to aerate the soil! 🐛🐞🐜 📸: keeper Olivia | Fort Worth Zoo
