African spoonbill

The African spoonbill (''Platalea alba'') is a long-legged wading bird〔("African Spoonbill." ) (Honoluluzoo.org ). Accessed June 2011.〕 of the ibis and spoonbill family ''Threskiornithidae''. The species is widespread across Africa and Madagascar, including Botswana, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.〔
==Biology==
It lives in marshy wetlands with some open shallow water and nests in colonies in trees or reedbeds. They usually don't share colonies with storks or herons. The African spoonbill feeds in shallow water, and fishes for various fish,〔 molluscs,〔 amphibians, crustaceans,〔 insects〔 and larvae.〔 The animal uses its open bill to catch foods by swinging it from side-to-side in the water, which catches foods in its mouth.〔 Long legs and thin, pointed toes enable it to walk easily through varying depths of water.〔("African Spoonbill Fact Sheet, Lincoln Park Zoo" )〕
The African spoonbill is almost unmistakable through most of its range. The breeding bird is all white except for its red legs and face and long grey spatulate bill. It has no crest, unlike the common spoonbill. Immature birds lack the red face and have a yellow bill. Unlike herons, spoonbills fly with their necks outstretched.
