First one is certainly an Ibis, as John thinks..
The second sure looks like a magpie
and I wouldn't put it past one to be trained to thievery :-)

Last weekend we went to the Dallas Zoo.
This was the second time I went to this zoo.
They have several shows and "encounters with animals", where there is
some action happening with the animals. What I like about those is that
(unlike at many other zoos) they also actively mention such important
issues as conservation, recycling, etc. This especially important for
the kids that are the major part of the audience.
They have a bird show where they bring out various interesting birds.
Some of those birds do some tricks (such as getting a dollar bill from a
hand and putting it in the donation box).
Unfortunately, this time we came to the amphitheater as the show was
starting, and all good seats were taken. So, my seat wasn't good for
photography. I managed to grab just a few snapshots.
Here is one of the birds (I don't remember the name) with a long beak
caught in the flight:

And here is the dollar-grabbing act:

Comments and suggestions are welcome!

PS. If someone is interested, a few more images of birds (and one extra)
are available in this gallery:
