Indian Black Ibis (Black Ibis) Pictures and Detail 


Recently, I got a chance to take some pictures of a young Indian Black Ibis bird that was looking for insects. This bird is also called Red-naped ibis or black ibis and its scientific name is Pseudibis papillosa. We can recognize this bird with the crimson red patch on the head and a white patch on the shoulder, though, young Black ibis birds don't have a crimson color patch on the head.

We usually found other ibis birds near the water; however, Indian black ibis birds are not totally dependent on the water and we can find them in the dry areas too. These birds have very loud calls. I also got altered by his calls and got my camera to capture a few pics.

Both sexes of this bird are alike; however, juveniles don't have crown and bare heads. Black ibis are mostly silent birds; however, they make very strong calls during the breeding season. They mainly feed on insects, frogs, carrion, small vertebrates, and grain. These birds fly by making V Shape formation in the sky.

It is common to find these birds in Punjab and Haryana because it is their preferred place for breeding. This time, I got a chance to capture a pic of a young Indian Black Ibis and next time, I hope to capture pics of adult black ibis birds too.

 Update 22-01-2020 - I have added two new pics of the Black Ibis which was wandering in search of insects in the nearby fields. This time again, it was a grown juvenile bird. These birds don't fear humans much and only get alerted when someone tries to be too close to them.
