Spoonbill
Spoonbill is a large birdie.
As we know, it lives in fresh water.
The bird is an ancestor of the spoonbill
species.
Do not mistake it with Ibises!
Roseatte spoonbills are monogamous
Nest on the tree,
Pink and white, with spatulate bills.
Distinctive flat bills, long necks, and legs
Brighten up by red plumage
That reflects on diets of ages.
Do not disturb food resources!
Roseatte eats small aquatic reserves –
Fish, frogs, and insects
When marching swamps
And stirring the water
To flesh out the prey.
Historically, spoonbills were hunted
For their feathers in millinery trades.
Today, enjoy their unique silhouette.
Today, we focus on protecting,
And restoring our wetlands
That all birds can fly!
