the biggest number of wild bald ibis is in morocco. the moroccans are protecting about two hundred of the birds in a national park. in 2002, people saw seven new birds in syria. but there are also about 1000 birds in the world's zoos. scientists want to teach some of these birds to live like wild birds. but birds from zoos do not know about summer homes and winter homes. so some bald ibis are learning to fly behind little planes. they fly behind the planes to a warm place for the winter, and then they fly back to their summer home. in this way they can learn to be free, and perhaps europe can have wild bald ibis again.
