There are six species of spoonbill birds. The roseate spoonbill is native to the Americas, while the others are found in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. The graceful spoonbill has long legs, a long neck, and a long spoon-shaped bill. They live near wetlands, using their touch when feeding. The talkative spoonbill moves their heads and bills back and forth to sift through mud and shallow waters. Their broad, flat bill has sensitive detectors that act as receptors to feel the faintest vibrations made by crustaceans, fish, and insects which they love to eat.

The social spoonbills are nesting birds, roosting in large flocks or colonies with other wading birds. Their courtship displays include intricate dances and bill-clattering rituals, which are quite a sight. After choosing a mate, they build platform nests in trees with both parents cooperating to incubate the eggs and raise the chicks.

Spoonbills like to fly together with their wings outstretched. They symbolize community, loyalty, and sensitivity. When you want to know yourself better, call on the spirit of the spoonbill. Visit our website to get a free power animal reading and thank you for subscribing.
