What is a stork?

A stork is a large wading bird that belongs to the family Ciconiidae. They are known for their long necks and legs and for building nests on the top of buildings or in trees. Storks are found in many parts of the world, including Europe, Asia, and Africa. The most common stork species is the white stork, which is found in Europe, Asia, and Africa. Storks are carnivorous and feed on fish, amphibians, insects, reptiles, small mammals, and sometimes even other birds. They are migratory birds and can travel long distances to find suitable breeding and feeding grounds. Storks are often associated with delivering babies, as they are commonly depicted in folklore and popular culture carrying a baby in a cloth bundle in their beaks or talons.
