*** About Roseate Spoonbill: The Roseate Spoonbill, scientifically known as Platalea ajaja, is a striking member of the ibis and spoonbill family. Residing in marshes, wetlands, and shallow coastal areas, this bird is easily recognizable by its vibrant pink coloration, which intensifies with age and diet, particularly rich in carotenoids from crustaceans. They use their unique spoon-shaped bills to forage in the mud, swinging their heads side to side to detect and scoop up food. Conservation efforts are crucial for maintaining their habitat, especially as they face threats from water pollution and habitat loss.
