    Growing up in rural vic, Ibises were some of the most majestic birds at the pond. It’s always saddened me to see how Sydney ruined their reputation.

      There were so many of them at the farm I worked at that they made them the icon for the farm’s produce. Coming to the city and hearing them referred to as bin chickens was weird. It’s more a reflection of our intrusion on their environment than anything else.
