Actually the Hadeda Ibis is quite attractive with the sun on its plumage.

Those are ugly birds, but the photography is well done.

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:
