White Ibis of our country is found in the 

 warm parts of Asia and also in Africa, where 

 it was once held sacred, and was worshipped 

 by the people of Egypt, and when dead its 

 body was preserved by being embalmed. 

 Besides the Straw necked Ibis and the White 

 Ibis, there is another beautiful bird belonging 

 to the same family in our country called the 

 " Glossy Ibis."
