Bubulcus ibis, commonly known as the cattle egret, is a common waterfowl found in grassy wetland ecosystems. This bird has bright white plumage and a crest that appears orange or pink during breeding. Cattle egrets often travel in flocks in grassy wetlands, especially near water or in marshy areas, which provide a rich source of food, including small invertebrates, insects, and other aquatic life. Known for their graceful posture and long, flexible necks, cattle egrets often roam the meadows in search of food. In addition to foraging for food, they also use grassy wetlands as breeding sites, nesting on high plants to protect their young from predators. The existence of cattle egrets enriches the ecosystem of grassland wetlands and is an important part of this ecological environment.
