About This File
The stork is a long-legged wading bird found in warmer parts of the world. Storks are related to the heron and the ibis, having long broad powerful wings, and during flight they flap their wings and soar with their legs dangling and their long necks bent back in a S shape.
Storks feed on reptiles, amphibians, mollusks, fish, and insects. They use their long heavy bills to catch food, by jabbing and thrusting like a knife. They do not have any syrinx muscles, which makes them mute, but they can produce a cluttering noise by snapping there bills.
In America the wood ibis, or American wood stork is the only species of stork found. It is about 4 ft. long with glossy greenish black tail, found in temperate and tropical regions.
