The relative of a spoonbill is a HERON (5 letters) and an IBIS (4 letters). Herons are large wading birds with long legs, long necks, and pointed bills. They are found in wetlands, rivers, ponds, and lakes. Ibises are also wading birds, but they have curved bills and feed on insects, crustaceans, and other small animals. Both herons and ibises are found in many parts of the world, including North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
