Title
A bird quarrels with fellow birds over a place
Short description
Giovanni Battista Brocchi describes a bird he sees and its behavior with other similar birds, describing the sounds of a place contention. This bird is not convinced to be an Ibis. Although many explorers say it is present in Egypt he has never seen it.
Text on source
Questo uccello ha l'abitudine delle cicogne di strepitare battendo il becco, il che ho notato che suol fare quando contendono insieme. Se uno di essi vuol collocarsi nel posto occupato prima da altri è discacciato, si mettono a strillare, ed uno di essi in tal circostanza batte il becco.
