“A miraculous recovery” On January 2, this adult White Ibis (23-14) was found on the ground, thin, severely dehydrated, unable to stand, and generally weak. After 5 days of intensive care, the ibis had improved significantly and was cleared for release back to the wild!

Meet (or visit) Billy! We are so thankful to the Central Florida Zoo for providing the best space for Billy to live out the rest of his life 🥰

⚠️FACT FRIDAY⚠️ Generally the average size of a bird species is a good indication of how long it will take their young to fledge. For Bald Eagles, like Connick, it generally takes ~85 days to fledge, for Osprey ~56 days, and for Red-Tailed Hawks ~45 days!
