The Australian white ibis is considered both a cultural icon and a pest

It’s the most popular bird in South Australia. Yet, people call it the « bin chicken ». This is why.

    Scary. These birds are actively changing their habits to benefit their survival. They’re obviously smarter than humans.

    I'm on the west coast n they're pretty prolific here too. They hang around my place all the time since my neighbour who has since moved out, used to throw bread n other scraps out in the courtyard. They land on the roof above my bedroom every morning n wake me up as they try to maintain their grip/balance. I call them gronk birds cuz of the noise they make. They kind of sound like a goose actually. Here's a song about them https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mO-OpFjHRbE

    The ibis here it UT are interesting to watch. Apparently years ago the were greater in number. I would hate to see them disappear in our area and can’t imagine them as pests in cities.

    As serious as this matter is. But they look nothing like a chicken!
