Storks are large birds with long legs and long beaks, mainly distributed in Africa, Europe, and Asia. The following are the habits and characteristics of storks:
1. Diet: Storks mainly feed on fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and small mammals, and also eat insects, snakes and lizards.
2. Feathers: Storks' feathers are usually gray, white, or black, and are relatively stiff in texture, sometimes with a glossy sheen.
3. Reproduction: Storks are usually monogamous, with both male and female sharing the responsibility of building the nest, incubating, and feeding the chicks. The nest is constructed from twigs, grass, and plant materials, and is typically built in trees or on high structures.
4. Behavior: Most storks are diurnal, foraging for food near water or in marshes, and can run and jump quickly. Storks are also known for their graceful flight, spreading their wings while gliding through the air at relatively slow speeds.
5. Sounds: Storks usually do not make any sounds, but during the breeding season they will make some hoarse calls or throat sounds.
In general, storks are graceful large birds, known for their long beaks, long legs, and grey plumage. They are fascinating subjects of observation and play an important role in the ecosystem.
