Soft and unreasonably lifelike, she's the funniest Australian souvenir gift you can put on a colleague's desk. For anyone who loves the ibis, tolerates the ibis or has personally lost their rubbish bin to one, this is the plush toy that says it best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Australian White Ibis, Threskiornis molucca, is a native waterbird of swamps, lagoons and floodplains that moved into our cities as inland wetlands dried out. It is often called the Sacred Ibis, though that name properly belongs to a closely related African species. In the wild it hunts crayfish and mussels, hammering the shells open on a hard surface to get at the soft body inside. Its numbers are rising in urban parks while declining across its natural range, so the bird raiding your picnic is really a story about habitat loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive it as a joke. Let it become the reason someone finally loves these fascinating, adaptable icons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNear life size plush, approx 45cm tall (43 x 19 x 25cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigitally printed, soft and suitable for ages 3 and over\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelected by the Australian Museum Shop.
