Crested ibis

Crested ibis are very rare. The first picture is a crested ibis. They eat small animals like frogs, mice, and crabs. Only about 26 live in the wild (counted) and 32-34 are in human care. These birds get killed by martins. They are a type of weasel. The second picture is of them. We are helping the crested ibis by taking them into captivity, so then they would get killed less by the martins.
