The Toki, or crested ibis, is a stunning bird species that originates from Eastern Asia. This majestic bird was once almost extinct, but has made an incredible recovery thanks to the conservation efforts of China, Japan, and South Korea.

The crested ibis is a big bird that measures around 75cm in height and can spread its wings up to 130cm. It has a unique appearance with mostly white feathers, black primary feathers, a red face, and a special crest of wispy feathers on its head.

Throughout history, the crested ibis has held a special place in Asian culture, often being depicted in traditional art and literature. Unfortunately, in the 20th century, this beloved bird began to face significant threats, including habitat loss, hunting, and pesticide use, which led to a rapid decline in its population.
