Trash Birds

When I first got to Florida I asked my sister what type of bird this was. Her reply was trash birds, because they hang around trash. They are really American White Ibis.
Lol, American White Ibis sounds more elegant. Great capture!

Floridians call it like they see it. I’ve heard them call seagulls flying rats

Great capture. They just come in our neighborhood and poke into the grass. Not sure what they are getting.

Lovely diagonal composition. Now I guess all birds are trash. They simply choose easier prey. In our country, you will find a stork faster in a landfill than in a meadow.

@corinnec I agree.
@kjarn We are sisters. We just have slightly different accents and words.
. @sjgiesman Yikes... Flying rats is rather terrifying. lol
@rickster549 I think they like the grubs. I have seen one stick its beak in the ground and pull out a white fat worm looking thing... grub.
@edorreandresen thanks!
@haskar Yes. We humans have made it a bit difficult . Those dump sites are easy picking.
@monachorome thank you.
@phil_howcroft Hi Phil. Thank you. I thought the black and white gave elegance in contrary to the title. It made me giggle.
@shutterbug49 I do enjoy watching them. I can spend hours just gazing at the way their necks move like slinkies when they walk.. Thanks :-)

Interesting. I hope they don't eat trash. I thought they are insects?
