The ibises are a group of wading birds in the family Threskiornithidae with slender necks and long, narrow, downward-curving beaks.

Medunamun, a member of the Order of the Ancients acting as the Oracle of Amun in 48 BCE, operated under the cryptonym the Ibis.[1]
The Medjay Bayek of Siwa could sell ibis beaks to merchants for 5 drachmae each.[1]
