Scarlet Ibis at Bali Bird Park

This striking bird is calm, social, and fascinating to watch. As a result, it quickly becomes a favorite among guests of all ages.
A Unique Feeding Behavior
One of the most interesting traits of the scarlet ibis is how it eats. Before consuming its food, the bird gently dips fish into the water. This action helps clean the food and makes it easier to swallow.
Because of this habit, the scarlet ibis shows a high level of natural intelligence. Moreover, this behavior reflects how birds adapt to survive in the wild.
Getting to Know the Scarlet Ibis
The scarlet ibis (Eudocimus ruber) comes from South America and the Caribbean. In the wild, it lives in groups near wetlands, rivers, and shallow lagoons.
Its red color comes from pigments found in its diet. These pigments are mainly from small crustaceans and fish. Over time, this diet gives the bird its famous bright plumage.
