    Thanks! It is shaped that way, because they swing their head from side to side to catch small fish and other little critters, next time I see them I will make a video to show how they feed, it looks really weird.

      I could be that you may have looked up a different kind of spoonbill?

      "The African spoonbill feeds in shallow water, and fishes for various fish,[2] molluscs,[2] amphibians, crustaceans,[2] insects[2] and larvae."

      Hope you enjoy the read, there is not much info on that wiki page!
