  • I get a ton of these outside of my house. If you get close to them you can hear this funny grunting noise. It is really cute!

  • Wasn't Thoth the god of Language and Writing?

  • These birds were mythologized throughout dynastic and predynastic ancient Egypt. It was thought that their beaks represented the crescent moon, and their quills were used by scribes to write texts and testimonies in courts. The Ibis bird was mythologized into the god Thoth, the messenger of the gods. The quill of the Ibis was associated with the scribe of Ra who writes the Egyptian apocrypha. In Christianity the Ibis was associated with the mythical John who writes the Book of Revelation.
