I commented earlier on the value of White Ibis on lawns and in gardens. These guys are working this section of lawn for grubs and mole crickets. They leave a little hole that looks like it was made by a thick pencil, aereating the soil. They aren't messy like geese and ducks, and don't bother vegetation.

Could I rent a dozen of these for a couple of days?
..and they taste just like chicken. (:^o)
Cool!
We need about a zillion of them. Mole crickets are taking over.
Saw a big white...heron, I think...the last couple of days. Don’t think we have the ibis’ here.

They are called Chokoloskee Chicken for a reason. Totch Brown invited me to such a dinner. He said the juveniles were for frying, the mature ones (all white) were better simmered for a long time.
Interesting clip! They’re getting a good meal.
How would these birds do in Missouri? Just need a few for a week or so.
Never heard that one before.! LOL
