While in the Biodome, my class was given a wonderful tour by our tour guide, but I was distracted right when I passed these magnificent looking birds. Scarlet Ibis inhibit the tropical regions in South America and the Caribbean. They have a red bills and feet. The males are usually larger than the females. What I find interesting about the image is the bird itself. I recognized it because it is the national bird of Trinidad and it is on their coat of arms.
