Bald Ibis, Kelaynak in Turkish or Geronticus Eremita in
Latin, is also know as Northern Bald Ibis Hermit Ibis, or Waldrapp.

large black bird with its featherless head and neck and a long curved red beak. The rest of their body is covered with dark blue-purple feathers.
Living in semi-deserted or rocky habitats such as in the Middle East and north Africa.
They
live in colonies nesting and mating on the steep rock cliffs to protect
themselves and their eggs from wild animals and humans.

eat mainly insects, lizards, snails, beetles, worms, ants, small snakes and
scorpions by probing with their long beak into cracks in the soil
