Thanks for posting this. I’m Australian and I have never heard of Ibis being reviled and I thought I’d missed something. I mean isn’t there even a hotel chain called Ibis? (I seem to recall being stuck in the elevator with my then-ex girlfriend one night…) The article really doubled down on the “reviled” nature of the birds that I figured they must know something. Do they really steal food from our of peoples hands? I’ve had a miner do that but the Ibis near me seem to stay away from people. But then again, this is the BBC. I don’t know if there exists a worse news organisation that regards itself more highly.
