Description

Sacred Ibis are rather quiet birds, only grunting or a croaking on breeding grounds. In ancient Egyptian societies, the sacred ibis was worshipped as the god Thoth and was supposed to preserve the country from plagues and serpents. The birds were often mummified and then buried with pharaohs. Both the male and female take turns in guarding the nest site until the chicks are large enough to defend themselves. In addition, both parents help feed the chicks. Ibises are an ancient species with fossil records going back 60 million years.
