Bin Chook Preening In The Park P6195839

We had a delightful wander around the Brisbane Botanic Garden this morning. This fellow wasn't at all concerned about me edging closer for photos.
Ibis are commonly called bin chooks because they have adapted so well to scavenging in urban areas.
Nice timing

Beautiful close up and details. Not the prettiest birds, but rather photogenic.

What great nicknames! I'd never heard that...but then, most I've seen live in zoos! Merrelyn, liken you, a visit to a botannic garden or zoo would be out first choice upon visiting almost anywhere! We joke that "we've seen the zoos of the world" from Singapore to Barcelona and all stops in between!

Nice catch with the fountain. Getting ready to represent us at the 2032 Olympics....

I quite like those birds, but I guess there are a lot of them around. Lovely photo.
