Crested Ibis (Nipponia nippon)
About the Crested Ibis
The crested ibis (Nipponia nippon), also called the Japanese crested ibis, Asian crested ibis or toki (トキ), is a species of bird in the ibis family, Threskiornithidae. It is the only species in the genus Nipponia. The crested ibis was once widespread across eastern China, the Korean Peninsula, and Japan, but by the late 20th century its wild population had become restricted to Yangxian in Shaanxi Province, China. Reintroduction programs have since established populations in South Korea and in Japan on Sado Island and the Noto Peninsula.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 15 recordings for this species: 8 CC BY-NC-ND · 7 CC BY-NC-SA. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
