It has earned the moniker "bin chicken" for its propensity to scavenge food from anywhere it can - messily raiding garbage and often stealing food right out of people's hands.Hence Emily Vincent's surprise when members of the community started sending her pictures and videos of ibis "playing" with the amphibians.They would flip the toads on their back and rip out their insides, leaving the glands untouched.And then there are animals like the ibis that have worked out how to eat toads safely, which could help bring the population back under control."All of those animals are actually doing a wonderful job as an unseen army that are reducing the numbers of cane toads every year," Professor Shine says."
