White storks have long legs and necks so that they can wade into deep water, while still keeping the ability to spear fish with their straight pointed bill.

This bird is very large and has a perfect wingspan for its migratory flights.

Usually nests in trees or manmade structures. This allows both the parent and offspring to be protected from any land predators.

They have learned to rely on soaring techniques (thermal air currents), to conserve energy on long, migratory flights.

They use bill-clattering and body postures to communicate with one another.
