«One beak is good, and three is better!»: ibis.
Ibis are flocking birds. They live in colonies of 100-150 pairs. During nomadic bird families unite in a huge flock, which totals up to 1 million individuals. Birds fly together, in the places of rest create the so-called "bird markets". Ibis are calm, peaceful birds. In their flocks take other birds, for example, spoonbills, cormorants, herons. They all fly along the same route, and then also return home together. Thanks to the powerful long wings, ibises fly quickly and well. In one day they cover a distance of several hundred kilometers.
