A pride of lions. A gaggle of geese. A herd of antelope. A charm of hummingbirds.
So, what do you call a bunch of ibises? (Or is it ibi?)
I dunno. But a moron of ibises seems to fit.
How do you like the crossover step by the ibis on the left?
I take it you are not impressed by the ibis (yes, ibis is also plural). According to the Web "A group of ibises has many collective nouns, including a "congregation", "stand", and "wedge" of ibises." If you wish, I will add "moron" to this list. Personally I think they area great looking birds.
ReplyDeletegreat pics of them all and the one on the left is doing his dance moves for ya!
ReplyDeleteHere I thought you were teaching me a new word! I LOVE that cross-over step. It's very "Hollywood".
ReplyDeleteThe one on the left is a showman! They look wonderful, Jack! Sunny and -5˚C here today!
ReplyDeleteI never heard of these birds but there they are. I love that last photo, it looks like they're all on a mission strutting down the beach. Of course, there is always one joker in the crowd, the crossover step expert. :)
ReplyDeleteI like them! They seem like such characters.
ReplyDeleteWell, I like them and they are much more interesting than the birds I see each day!
ReplyDeleteThey make a great group! Perhaps a congress?
ReplyDeleteMy Googling came up with a colony of Ibises. I love these shots. They're such exotic birds to this westerner.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful birds, Jack, great pictures too !
ReplyDeleteI like the crossover step, somehow it looks like he is skating.
