About These Birds
Jabiru
130–140 cm, wingspan 230–280 cm. Massive white stork; naked black head with vivid red collar at base of neck; huge black upturned bill. Ranges from Mexico to Argentina; commonest in Pantanal and llanos. Feeds on fish, frogs, and snakes. Nests solitarily on tall palms. South America's tallest flying bird.
Oriental Stork
The oriental stork is one of the most endangered stork species, with fewer than 3,000 individuals remaining in the wild. It was once widespread across East Asia but declined dramatically due to wetland drainage and pesticide use. Reintroduction programs in Japan and Korea have achieved notable success.
