I'm a Queenslander, a beach bum and a member of the poultry inspired nickname crowd. I'm here to challenge thoughts and feelings towards the Australian white ibis.

What are your thoughts on feeding wildlife? Human food, like chips, is obviously out, but bird seed, fruit and vegetables? The animals are here to stay in urban spaces so we need to find healthy ways of coexisting.

When a sick possum showed up in my garden my heart overtook my head. Is it ever OK to feed urban wildlife?

While official advice is clear, it’s not a black-and-white issue, experts say. Responsibly interacting with urban wildlife may increase our compassion Chopping vegetables in my kitchen on a winter afternoon, I was startled by the sound of rustling branches and loud coughing coming from my back yard. I walked outside tentatively, prepared to face a fence-hopping intruder. Instead, after a few minutes of listening to evenly timed wheezes, I spotted it – a small brushtail possum, tucked behind lilly-pilly branches bowing over my fence. Continue reading...

Ibises love food, and we know they’ll eat almost anything, but their most favourite foods include: insects and crabs and they’ve even worked out how to eat cane toads. #Australianwhiteibis #nativebird #thenobleibis

Ibises are native birds who have changed some of their native ways

Did you know that the accepted plural of the ibis is ibises, the collective noun is a colony, and when in flight they are a wedge (because of the v shape they fly in)?

That one time I went to Egypt ... well, I scrapbooked my photos. Here's one of my favourite spreads featuring me on the right on top of Marvin the camel (the name I appointed my steed). Background images I cut from an Egyptian encyclopaedia. #Egypt #Travel #Thoth #thenobleibis

Today's happiness: This 4thC BC faience polychrome #Egyptian #ibis is taking Thursday as it comes @metmuseum - which says the artist 'beautifully captured the halting stride of the bird, which seems to be considering its every step'. www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...

Thoth - Egyptian god of Wisdom, creator of writing, head of an ibis. This is my kind of god. See how legendary the ibis is? While the Australian white ibis is an Aussie native, it's pretty cool to have a distant cousin this epic.

On a trip to @australiazoo.bsky.social a few years ago, a friend and I saw this beautiful Australian glossy ibis. It’s so much smaller than the white ibis, but has that same signature long beak and slow, deliberate walk. #glossyibis #nativebird #australianwildlife #longbeaknobility #thenobleibis
