The ibises (collective plural ibis; classical plurals ibides and ibes) are a group of long-legged wading birds in the family Threskiornithidae, that inhabit wetlands, forests and plains. They all have long, down-curved bills, and usually feed as a group, probing mud for food items, usually crustaceans. They are monogamous and highly territorial while nesting and feeding. Most nest in trees, often with spoonbills or herons. All extant species are volant, but two extinct genera were flightless, namely the kiwi-like Apteribis in the Hawaiian Islands, and the peculiar Xenicibis in Jamaica. The word ibis comes from Latin ibis from Greek ἶβις ibis from Egyptian hb, hīb.
There are 28 extant species and 2 extinct species of ibis.
White ibis may refer to several birds:
The Australian white ibis (Threskiornis moluccus) is a wading bird of the ibis family, Threskiornithidae. It is widespread across much of Australia. It has a predominantly white plumage with a bare, black head, long downcurved bill and black legs.
Historically rare in urban areas, the Australian white ibis has immigrated to urban areas of the east coast in increasing numbers since the late 1970s; it is now commonly seen in Wollongong, Sydney, Melbourne, the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Townsville. Debate continues on whether to consider it a pest or vulnerable species. Populations have disappeared from natural breeding areas such as the Macquarie Marshes in north-western New South Wales. Despite this, the species has been culled in parts of Sydney due to their smell and at times intrusive nature. Its sister species is the sacred ibis.
It was initially described by Georges Cuvier in 1829 as Ibis molucca. It is considered part of a superspecies complex with the sacred ibis (T. aethiopicus) of Africa, and the black-headed ibis (T. melanocephalus) of Asia. Its status in the complex has vacillated over the years. Many older guidebooks referred to the bird as a species T. molucca, until a comprehensive review of plumage patterns by Holyoak in 1970. Holyoak noted the three species' similarities and that the Australian taxon resembled T. aethiopicus in adult plumage and T. melanocephalus in juvenile plumage. He proposed they all be considered part of a single species T. aethiopicus. This was generally accepted by the scientific community until Lowe and Richards's assessment of plumage in 1991. They again recommended the recognition of molucca at species level. This was followed by chromosome study which highlighted each of the three species having a different karyotype. The Australian white ibis has been considered a full species by most authorities since then.
Australian White is a large, white breed of Australian meat sheep which was developed for Australian conditions. The Australian White sheep are a stabilised composite haired meat breed comprising White Dorper, Van Rooy, Poll Dorset and Texel genetics.
Work commenced on a breeding program by the Highveld White Dorper and Van Rooy sheep stud and the Tattykeel stud. Their aim was to produce a unique Australian white, shedding sheep breed to quickly produce large framed, heavy lamb carcases.
Additionally, walking or mobility ability, good fertility and mothering instincts in the ewes and hardy lambs with good growth weights were required traits to be incorporated into the breed.
In 2011 the Australian White sheep breed was shown at the Sydney Royal Easter Show for the first time.

If you own either a Panasonic GH5 or an Olympus OMD EM1ii, you know your camera has IBIS (In Body Stabilization). You also might be in the market for a new general purpose lens. Panasonic has 2 12-35 2.8s that have built in stabilization, and with they new DUAL IS feature, these lenses work even better with the new GH5. The question is, how much better and do these IS lenses improve performance when used on the Olympus OMD EM1ii? In this video Michael answers those questions for both slow shutter speeds at 1/5 of a second as well as video stabilization. Enjoy!

Never before seen sneak peek into the daily life of a Bin Chicken. It is well known in many cities and towns across Australia that the Ibis bird is the Hobo of the Bird World. This once majestic creature has fallen into societies pit of filth and shame. Look upon any local park and you will see them scavenging relentlessly. Any dumpster and there they will be, bin diving for juice without a touch of guilt. Voices, Music and Animation by Jayo Stenz.

- Click on CC for English subtitles - Valley of Death. That is how Cubatão became famous in the early 80’s after being considered the world’s most polluted city according to the UN. Very odd cases of children born with anencephaly and other malformations began to spread. Apparently that was not the case of Akira Shiroma. A shy and observer-type little boy that has found in skateboarding his instrument of creation, freedom and escape. Valley of Life. The degradation caused by the irresponsible industrialisation at large-scale around Cubatão had deeply impacted on its forests. However, nature always find a way to reinvent itself. Near to death mangroves started breathing again, and they became an unexpected outlying colony to a very special bird: Scarlet Ibis. This video was put on hold a...

She might look cool but she stinks like a hecking bin bird. For LoopdeLoop's TUMBLE theme.
When William Saroyan described the bicycle as the noblest invention of humankind, I doubt he imagined the souped up carbon hotness we use to blast around the woods with a primary goal of increasing the serotonin and dopamine levels in our brains. Ibis Cycles (www.IbisCycles.com) is releasing the Mojo HDR and they take a pretty big step in maintaining the Mojo as the most versatile mountain bike in the world. (*In my humble opinion.) I don't know the actual angles and numbers on the bike- Ibis will tell you today- but it is hands down the most versatile, wickedly fun, and fast bike I've been on. The level of engineering on this frame begs for components that match, and I went with what I describe as a strong & sexy build. My Mojo HDR came set up for 650b (27.5") wheels and I'm rolling ...

On one of my short trips to New York I decided to stay in Berlin's +6h timezone which allowed me to stroll through the nocturnal streets of the city until the sun was rising. Here's what I saw. Shot on Sony A7ii. Nikon AIS 28mm 2.8 / 50mm 1.4 + IBIS Handheld / Xcam Sabre
Laughter from Esharra is convincing, but unclaimed.
The last of Ka drifts across the river
- Our sky outside has not been named.
Two Ugalla-demons start their battle
- Tempest of the creek is floored in flames.
Winds of Imhullu foretold their weather
- Sea-dwelling floods reply without names.
Taste the salty tides of the Apzu
- Alight seven tablets wearing steel of lame.
Laughter from Esharra is convincing, but unclaimed.
6000 years past away to let the Utu tribes
hear the lying words against Azzta's truth.
Ea's eye is the way...
We are the ones who know the mountain passes,
and we'll search the battlefields,
in order to find the essential weapons corroded within the tan dust.
Marduk, Anu, Ellil, and Ea watch us all to test our bold and drastic strength,
so Tiamat sneers with the hate and commands the storm-chariot of the horses.
Their teeth and heart carry poison to strike us down,
but cannot fill our veins with venom.
We warned you twice:
"We Command The Mushussu!"
"Sharp Of Tooth And Strike Of Fang!"
"Horned Serpent Of The Unclaimed!"
"Shine!"
Make a path, fix the hour, and raise the seed
The dragon's semen is what you drink to be crowned by night
"Belet-ili, O great pythoness, kiss me!"
"Belet-ili, O great pythoness, kiss me!"
With the billowing fog, the abyss speaks below
Your wings of force cannot warp you through the times
"Belet-ili, O great pythoness, caress me!"
"Belet-ili, O great pythoness, caress me!"
In the ninth aeon, Esharra ceases the laughter
Then, Imhulla assembles the blazing cycllone
"Belet-ili, O great pythoness, embrace me!"
"Belet-ili, O great pythoness, embrace me!"
Now you are spiritually drunk from the dragon's semen,
So set your arrow in the bow and coat it with the poison
"Belet-ili, O great pythoness, clutch me!"
"Belet-ili, O great pythoness, clutch me!"
