Ibis are so maligned. They are magnificent birds, I love them. My heart aches for what has been taken away from them and the suffering that has resulted. Their treatment reminds me of the shameful way that we have treated not just the wildlife, but the First Nations people of Australia as well. Take their resources mercilessly , then blame them for the suffering which results. Ibis have a special place in my heart ❤

The amount of trees councils are removing because of ibises is beyond belief .. get educated

I live on an island with a large number of White Ibis and I've never seen one in a bin. They do visit houses that feed Curlews and other birds, but they are the most shy of them all and stand back. i'm very fond of them. Odd thing though, I've never seen juveniles either. The Curlews bring their babies to visit at a few days old.

i was waiting for another one of these

[@M1KEPH0EN1X]

Got one on Magpies too if you want to see it. This one is a uni assessment so I didn't do as good a job cause I was in a rush

[@vulturedrawz]

I am and always have been an ibis defender. Poor things lost their homes, narrowly avoided extinction by humans (which very rarely happens) and now they are just hated :(

You are sick

Yeah it's not their fault they became 'bin chickens'. They've just adapted to the environment they've found themselves in.

[@Syntax_Assassin]

They’ve been absolutely violated they used to be a symbol of a literal God in Egypt now we called in fucking bin chickens

[@zoboe92]

Interesting film. I didn't know anything about these birds until now. You have a very engaging style. Thank you.

[@robinhahn6987]

Love your commentary, mate - spot on! We have this bin chook who likes to pinch our chook's feed, but since the chooks are on hols now - no more eggs, they're done - might as well the ibis gets to enjoy as well. Hope you do a video on the kookaburra. I reckon your videos are right up there with zFrank's: you have a great sense of humour!

[@hecticmorder1492]

well done mate

[@ulrikezachmann7596]

I’m big Ibis fan. Love them. Some shop owners almost make pets of them. The Buddhists give them snacks. If they know you they will be very tame and follow you around. Long live the Bin Chicken.

[@Grinddownunder]

All you people are seriously mentally ill defending flying rats

What are the odds, I stumbled onto your channel 4 hours after an upload, having just stumbled on your plover vid I feel honoured Chur from across the ditch cuzz 😂

[@poisontoad8007]

Yep the plover vid was my intro too! How did I not meet this channel earlier?

@@poisontoad8007 Ah well, we did anyway and that's the main thing Need more passionate Blokes like this

Good old bin chickens.

The white ibis around here is a beautiful white bird, no rubbish dumps to get dirty.

The raxx comparison...bahahaha 😂 Wasn't expecting that one. Nice

[@McKeelix]

When I lived in Florida, I frequently saw American white ibises. Unlike the Australian white ibis, the American ones have heads covered in white feathers like the rest of their body. Their legs and beaks are bright red, and their eyes are sky-blue. They’re wonderful little birds that help keep lawns pest-free. Surprising to hear that Australia’s white ibises are viewed with such disdain.

[@Otone360]

Personally, I think they’re beautiful ❤️

[@poisontoad8007]

I love white ibises. Especially when they freak out tourists! I had no idea they'd learnt how to safely predate cane toads, so thanks for that. Which university are you studying at?

[@Grinddownunder]

You wouldn't love them if they chose to nest next to your bedroom window hippy,!

[@davidstokes8441]

White Ibises are very common now in South Australia - specifically the Adelaide Metro area, and are the urban terrorist, beating seagulls hands down in the picnic raiding forays.

[@meh8650]

Your channel is absolute gold mate! Came here from a recommendation for your plover vid. :D The only thing I have against ibises is their smell. It's not the smell of a bin or whatever, it's like a really uniquely scented soap that's a bit pungent. Also, love the reference to the recent news where a Viet man tried to eat one :'D

Truly darksoul boss... The ibis watchers xD

[@user-bw4jm1bv1i]

Saying Australian birds exotic, with beautiful birdsong. Myself having only watched this and the Plovers one....oh ok go on.

[@buttercxpdraws8101]

I don’t understand how people can find the Ibis to be ugly. Long legs and long beaks are beautiful in many species, flamingos for example.

Us humans created the common big chicken by being grubs ourselves

[@saintessa]

I've only seen one, once

[@Can0spam]

You didn't mention the fact that these birds reek when they spread their wings. The smell is similar to liver being cooked.

[@TheFallfish]

15:38 idk where this gull slander comes from, all the seagulls ive been around have been pretty cautious around people and usually don't approach food unless it's been thrown towards them or has been left out

[@SkigBiggler]

The ones in the UK can get pretty aggressive. Depends on the species, some are a lot larger and more willing to just take shit from you. Ones in New Zealand are medium-sized for Gulls, and normally wait, or cluster nearby for food.

No way you used cyraxx to reference the bird

[@aaron6178]

It's 'Bin Chicken' , not "Bin Rat". Just correcting the lore.

[@gregorysagegreene]

Ibisii ?

[@lisadolan689]

It’s called a BIN CHICKEN not a bin rat
