Adele 245 in Burghausen

My beautiful girl, I'm so glad you came to see me before I had to go home. I didn't know it was you when I took this photo because the sunlight was so bright. Now you're resting in Salzburg before you fly south.

Adele is the bird I've been sponsoring since 2018, shortly after she hatched. If you're interested in supporting the Waldrappteam, you can find out more on their website.

The African sacred ibis (Threskiornis aethiopicus) is a species of ibis in the wading bird family Threskiornithidae which is native throughout of Africa, as well as Iraq, Iran and Kuwait. It has also been introduced throughout much of southern Europe, Taiwan, and Florida. The African sacred ibis gets its common name from its role in Ancient Egyptian religion, where it is linked as a symbol and representative of the god of knowledge, wisdom, writing, science, and mathematics: Thoth. These diurnal and social birds live in flocks of 2 to 20, inhabiting marshes, wetlands, and mudflats both inland and on the coast. They feed primarily upon insects, worms, crustaceans, mollusks and other invertebrates, as well as seeds, eggs, various fish, frogs, reptiles, small mammals and carrion. Sacred Ibis’s are preyed upon by crocodiles, lizards, and birds of prey particularly the African Fish Eagle. Reaching around 25 to 28 inches (63.5 to 71cm) long, 2.5 to 3.5lbs (1.1 to1.6kg) in weight, with a 44 to 50inch (112 to 124cm) wingspan, sacred ibis are a mid sized bird with males typically being smaller than females. The neck, bald head, thick curved bill, and legs are black. While the plumage is generally white in coloration except for the black rear border of the wings. The breeding season lasts from March to August in Africa, and from April to May in the Middle East, during such time these birds gather in colonies up to 1000 strong. A mated pair of sacred ibises will construct stick nests in the branches of tall trees such as baobabs or atop abandoned building or rocky islands. Here females lay one to five eggs per season, incubated by both parents for 21 to 29 days. After hatching, one parent continuously stays at the nest for the first seven days. Chicks fledge after 35 to 40 days and are independent after 44 to 48 days, reaching sexual maturity one to five years of age. Under ideal conditions a sacred ibis may live up to 20 years.
