🦩Australian White Ibis

Threskiornis molucca (Cuvier, 1829)

澳洲白䴉（學名：Threskiornis moluccus）為䴉科白䴉屬的鳥類，外表和體型皆與同屬的埃及聖䴉非常相近，主要分布於摩鹿加群島東部、新幾內亞、索羅門群島拉納爾和貝羅那省、澳洲，近代在塔斯馬尼亞與紐西蘭部分地區亦有愈來愈多的出沒紀錄。和其他白䴉一樣，澳洲白䴉偏好棲息於水邊，包含潟湖、濕地、沼澤、河岸灘地等等。而澳洲的族群亦常見於人類活動密集的地區，從牧場、公園草坪、鋪設草皮的球場到公共垃圾箱都能遇見，也因為在大城市中常見牠們用細長的喙在垃圾筒中覓食，而在當地有「垃圾雞」（bin chicken, trash turkey）的俗稱。
