This bird’s unmistakable call can echo across the landscape long before it comes into view.
The Hadeda Ibis is a large wading bird found throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Known for its loud, ringing calls and long curved bill, it searches wetlands, grasslands, and even city parks for earthworms, insects, frogs, and other small creatures hidden beneath the soil. Its adaptability has helped it thrive in both wild and urban environments.
A familiar voice of the African morning, proving that sometimes the most unforgettable birds are recognized by their calls before their colors.
