The red ibis is a medium-sized bird with bright red plumage in adults. It has long legs and a curved beak that helps it forage in shallow water and mud.
The red ibis differs from other ibises in the rich red color of the feathers of adult birds. It is important for nature because it regulates the population of invertebrates in swamps and serves as an indicator of the health of aquatic ecosystems.
