Comment | The smallest of our three ibis species, the Glossy Ibis is also the livelier one, and the most reclusive. Generally, it is not quite as wary of people as the Straw-necked Ibis. A tactile feeder, it forages in low waters at freshwater wetlands, dandily and energetically probing surface plant mass and muddy bottoms for aquatic invertebrates, while stoically moving forward. However, seeds and commercially grown rice are also on the menu. Occasionally, it will forage belly-deep, and I it can swim, and when doing so, it looks like a small, bronze-coloured flamingo. Sometimes, it is also found in costal and estuarine habitats with brackish water. A gregarious bird often seen in small flocks, it is also frequently seen foraging alone, especially when a pair has nestlings. The species is not that plentiful in the Perth area, but if you go to one of the more secluded lakes with good and dense shore vegetation, chances are that you might see one.
