An IBIS is a long-legged bird. It wades in shallow marshes where it gets its food. This bird goes south in the winter because the northern marshes freeze. The ibis can't get food in a frozen marsh.
An ibis was found in New York one cold January day. It was spotted by a bird watcher near the shores of Jamaica Bay. The bird was very cold and very hungry, but this ibis was not left out in the cold. Mrs. Thomas, a bird lover who lives in Queens, took it in. She fed the ibis small fish and baby vitamins. The bird was no longer cold or hungry.
But the shower was not place for a bird eighteen inches tall and twenty inches long. Mrs. Thomas had a friend leaving for Florida who agreed to take the ibis south. Eastern Airlines let the ibis ride along free. The friend let the ibis go in Florida.
Maybe the bird will leave in time, next winter. Perhaps it will even use its own wings instead of a plane for the flight south!
