Stork

Here comes mister stork! A Stork is a symbol of a baby, and there are tales of storks delivering babies to everyone's doorsteps. I doubt it. But here are some TRUE facts about the stork that I happen to know because I research:

Storks are large, long-legged, water-faring birds. They have short, stubby beaks, and prefer a drier habitat than it's many relatives. I guess you could call storks the odd one out. They like dry land, they can't clean slime off of fish, and they can't even make a noise using vocal chords. Most of their noise is made by clacking their beak together.

Stork nests are very large, and have been known to be 6 feet across and 10 feet deep in some cases. They are built very strongly and can be used for many years by many generations of storks. Usually, stork partners do not migrate with each other, they breed and then travel on their own path. Storks do NOT, however, usually use the same nest as the year before.
