Ibises and Spoonbills - Family Threskiornithidae

[Lisbeth]

Klipspringer will tell you, that they are not herons, they only belong to the same family

I seriously thought that it was in the stork family like the open-billed stork

[Klipspringer]

Spoonbills belong to the same ORDER (not family) as herons and they are in the same family as ibises
