Here’s a little report from a Wall Street Journal newspaper from last week, about the residents in Johannesburg putting out food for the hadida ibis. I would see them on lawns in the neighborhood every morning as I bicycled to school. The drought in the Johannesburg area has made it hard for them to find their favorite food, though : earthworms.
P.S. The sound they make is Ha-Ha Ha Dee Da! (not ‘Daw’). Here’s a Youtube video of the bird. I just could not find a nice clip with their distinctive ha dee da sound.
