* Royal Spoonbill

The Royal Spoonbill ( Platalea regia ) also known as the Black-billed Spoonbill, occurs in intertidal flats and shallows of fresh and saltwater wetlands in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands.

The Royal Spoonbill lives in wetlands and feeds on crustaceans, fish and small insects by sweeping its bill from side to side.

Widespread throughout its large range, the Royal Spoonbill is evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

The renowned ornithologist John Gould first described the Royal Spoonbill in 1838, naming it Platalea regia and noting its similarity to the Eurasian Spoonbill ( P. leucorodia ).

The Royal Spoonbill is a large, white bird with a black, spoon-shaped bill.

The end of the bill of the Royal Spoonbill is broader and works more like a pair of tongs than the narrower bill of the Yellow-billed Spoonbill, which acts like a forceps.

The Royal Spoonbill is carnivorous, catching small animals by sweeping its bill through shallow water and swallowing prey once detected.
