Australian white ibis in Downfall Creek 7th Brigade Park Chermside

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Australian white ibis (Threskiornis molucca), is an urban legend, having relocated in huge numbers from its beleaguered rural wetlands to the major and minor urban centres of Australia. The bird is ravenously omnivorous, devouring pizza as readily as grasshoppers or aquatic invertebrates, and utterly fearless verging on contemptuous of humans. The 7th Brigade Park, Chermside, has a small but permanent rookery established on a bend of Downfall Creek not far from the eateries and restaurants of Westfield Shopping Centre. The birds sortie out from their stronghold to brazenly plunder the scraps (and meals) of the shopping centre diners, while not neglecting the traditional wetlands and floodplain haunts. A Brisbane CBD worker was once heard to quip 'No wonder the Ancient Egyptians thought the thing was a god, it's omnivorous, omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent'.
