'Bin chickens' learned to wash poisonous cane toads
I think the article considerably overstates Australian ‘hatred’ of ibis.<p>Yes they are referred to as bin chickens by a lot of city people, and you do see them raiding bins, but for the most part it’s a bit of a joke and done affectionately. Saying they are reviled is a bit strong! Particularly in a country with monstrosities like the funnelweb and mouse spiders…<p>Great if they turn out to be a natural control on cane toads!
