What is the animal Spoonbill known for?

The Spoonbill is a bird with a bill like a spoon
It uses it to catch its food in the lagoon
It sweeps it from side to side in the water
And sometimes it shares its meal with its daughter

The Spoonbill is mostly white, except for one kind
The Roseate Spoonbill has pink feathers, you'll find
It gets its color from the shrimp that it eats
And it looks very pretty when it flies in the streets

The Spoonbill is a wader, it likes to stand in the mud
It has long legs and neck, and no hair, just blood
It lives on every continent, except for the cold one
And it mates for one season, then it's done

The Spoonbill is a bird that you can admire
But don't get too close, or it might get ire
It likes to be left alone, in its wetland habitat
And if you disturb it, it might give you a spat
