Bin chickens

By their official title, these are "Sacred Ibis", but they're commonly known as "Bin Chickens" because they usually gather around rubbish bins, tips, or just scavenge around parks. They're found in eastern and northern Australia.

Explored.

Hi Tiabunna

Great picture of these two birds, which we don't have in England. The role of scavenger is taken by the seagulls (in the bird world at least - we have other scavengers too who raid litter bins and the council rubbish dump..)

Best Wishes, and a good weekend
Peter
