The ibises (collective plural
ibis; classical
plurals ibides and ibes)
are a group of long-legged wading birds in the family Threskiornithidae. They
all have long, down-curved bills, and usually feed as a group, probing mud for
food items, usually crustaceans. Most species nest in trees, often with spoonbills
or herons. The word ibis comes
from Greek and Latin, and probably from Ancient Egypt. Source
