RELEASED/INTRODUCED BIRD - Hadada Ibis


This is an escapee from the bird park in Taman Tasik Perdana. This lonely bird have been roaming the public park since 2012. It would be nice if the bird park or DBKL get to import a few more bird to keep it company. Then it will be a better attraction and visitors can feed them or something.

Hadada ibises have a wide range across sub-Saharan Africa, south to South Africa. They are Africa's most common and least aquatic ibis. Hadadas live in open grasslands, savannahs and rain forests, especially along wooded streams, marshes and river courses. They are also common around small towns and villages, in pastures and cultivated land and in timbered areas and are occasionally seen in the glades of deep forests. They are carnivores.


The bird's name comes from its raucous call of "ha-ha-a-a-a-a," usually uttered on the wing. Hadadas typically call around dusk or sunrise, when returning to the roost or leaving it. One bird starts, followed by others. In large roosts, several groups may call simultaneously.

 ALERT : Latest news  the Hadada have reached Ipoh Perak Oct 2018 !!!!!
