The Cayenne ibis is a medium-sized bird with shiny dark green plumage. It lives near water in tropical forests and swamps of South America.
The Cayenne ibis differs from other ibises in its completely dark green plumage without white spots. It is important for nature because it eats many insects and maintains order in wetland ecosystems.
Pecks soft soil and water with its beak.
