Rensselaer Republican, Volume 26, Number 23, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 February 1894 — Rameses' Sacred Fowl. [ARTICLE]

Rameses' Sacred Fowl.

The Ibis, the sacred bird of Egypt, is not peculiar to that country, but is found in considerable numbers in the South, in Florida especially. In St. Augustine and other coast towns it is no unusual thing to see an Ibis perched on the ridge-pole of a house or stable or stalking solemnly about a yard, for the bird is easily tamed and seems to be fond of human company.
