Habitat
Near wetlands; foraging in cultivated land and gardens
Range
Native to sub-Saharan Africa
The hadada ibis, or hadeda, is an ibis native to sub-Saharan Africa, named for its loud three- or four-note calls uttered in flight, especially in the mornings and evenings when it flies out or returns to its roost trees. Although not as dependent on water as some ibises, it is found near wetlands and often lives in close proximity to humans, foraging in cultivated land and gardens (Wikipedia, general species account).
The account used here describes only its African range, so its occurrence in Southeast Asia (as an escape or introduction) is not covered.
