We'd love to hear what you think about it!

I’ve traveled a lot. And I hope that never changes.

The harsh, hoarse, raucous, guttural haa-haa-haa-de-dah dawn call of the Hadeda Ibis is enough to drive one demented!

I am sure a lot of people in South Africa can relate to my love/hate relationship with this bird.  Every morning, at sunrise they fly over my house screaming at me to wake up!  Who needs an alarm clock?  I live across the road from a golf course, one of the favoured urban spots for these birds to roost so, no matter what, I am not going to get away from…
