Scarlet ibises are vivid red wading birds native to South America and the Caribbean. They inhabit wetlands, feeding mainly on crustaceans, which give them their striking color (crustaceans like shrimp and crabs contain the carotenoid astaxanthin responsible for the color). Known for their long, curved bills and social behavior, scarlet ibises often nest in large colonies near water.
