Every month, museum visitors choose the exhibit they like best. What fascinated the visitors of the museum in January was the Spoonbill. Its name comes from its wide beak that looks like a spoon. Spoonbills are rare birds in Europe because it is a migratory bird. In recent years their population has decreased significantly. Among the reasons that their population is decreasing, are the degradation of their habitats (drainage, water pollution, etc.), hunting, over-fishing and disturbing of its colonies, as well as collision with ungrounded power cables. For this reason, they consider to be protected species! They are usually found in wetlands (with salt or fresh water), in groups (colonies), mainly during the summer months as they choose to spend the winter in Africa! The Spoonbill is mainly a carnivorous bird. Its height reaches up to 93cm.They usually lay 3-4 eggs and their incubation lasts 24-25 days!
