Stunning !
Wow! Brilliant red, pretty bird! :-)
Stunning color!
I agree with Gilma! Nice question :)
Some years ago, these birds were on the verge of extinction, due to the hunt for their feathers. Now protected, their number is slowly growing again.
Fun fact! Scarlet ibises owe their vibrant red color to carotene from their diet of crustaceans! https://upload.facebook.com/projectnoah/...
