They belong to the wading bird family Threskiornithidae, which includes ibises from around the world, as well as one of my favourite birds, the Roseate Spoonbill.
The family Threskiornithidae includes 34 species of large wading birds. The family has been traditionally classified into two subfamilies, the ibises and the spoonbills; however recent genetic studies are casting doubt on the arrangement, and revealing the spoonbills to be nested within the old world ibises, and the new world ibises as an early offshoot.
