Definition: Plegadis autumnalis
Ibis
\I"bis\, n. [L. ibis, Gr. ?; of Egyptian origin.]
(Zo["o]l.)
Any bird of the genus
Ibis and several allied genera, of
the family
Ibid[ae], inhabiting both the Old World and the
New. Numerous species are known. They are large, wading
birds, having a long, curved beak, and feed largely on
reptiles.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The sacred ibis of the ancient Egyptians (
Ibis [AE]thiopica
) has the head and neck black, without
feathers. The plumage of the body and wings is white,
except the tertiaries, which are lengthened and form a
dark purple plume. In ancient times this bird was
extensively domesticated in Egypt, but it is now seldom
seen so far north. The glossy ibis (
Plegadis autumnalis
), which is widely distributed both in the
Old World and the New, has the head and neck feathered,
except between the eyes and bill; the scarlet ibis
(
Guara rubra) and the white ibis (
Guara alba)
inhabit the West Indies and South America, and are
rarely found in the United States. The wood ibis
(
Tantalus loculator) of America belongs to the Stork
family (
Ciconid[ae]). See
Wood ibis.
