IBIS IN THE MEADOW

Looking at the beautiful ibis birds browsing peacefully in the meadow. I have just noticed their arrival. Are they slightly early this year? Not sure. What type of ibis are they? I don't think they are the same type of ibis that one sees on the coast of NSW.

Yogi Ramacharaka says, in his writings, that ibis invented the rectal douche long, long ago.

When constipated, the birds use their long beaks to inject water into their rectums--just like an enema. This rather clever idea would seem to be birds practising medicine--of  a sort.  So I guess it can be said that ibis invented the rectal douche--unless some other creature got there first. Apparently the early Hatha Yogins took up the practice for its perceived health benefits.
