With its long, flattened, spoon-shaped bill, the spoonbill is an instantly recognizable wetland bird. It is found in marshes, deltas, and lagoons, where it moves slowly, searching the shallow water.
Surprisingly, by sweeping its beak from left to right, it captures small fish, crustaceans, and aquatic insects. Its bright white plumage, sometimes tinged with pink in certain seasons, and its slender silhouette make it an elegant and fascinating bird to observe. A migratory bird, the spoonbill travels long distances between its breeding and wintering grounds, demonstrating great resilience.
This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the spoonbill: characteristic beak, detailed plumage and realistic posture. An ideal model to enrich a collection of wild birds, invent stories by the water or to educate children about the richness of wetlands.
