One cannot go to Florida and miss the White Ibises roaming golf, park and private lawns. But how does a swamp-loving ibis become a city bird? We’re testing whether urban ibises are cleverer than their wild cousins using puzzle boxes designed just for them. At the same time, a statewide citizen-science project is tracking where ibises go and how they live alongside people. We expect that urban ibises will overall solve the puzzle faster, especially where they interact with people more often.
