Waldrapp Ibis Black Feathered Bird On iPhone 3G and 4



Endangered Ibis Bird Famed in Ancient Egypt On Your iPhone 3G and iPhone 4


The Waldrapp ibis, also known as the Northern Bald ibis, with black feathers, a long pink curved beak, red hued face and a bald forehead with a dash of feathers, is critically endangered. There are only about 250 of these birds in the wild, their natural habitats being the cliffs and coastlines of Morocco, Turkey and Syria.

They may be more familiar to you from ancient history as the bird was known in ancient Egypt as the crested ibis and appears on Egyptian hieroglyphs and tomb art.

The design is also available for the iPad.
