Marabou Stork With Nesting Material
Marabou Storks (Leptoptilos crumeniferus) are huge, bare-headed, bare-necked birds, with a wingspan of approximately 3.5 m (10.5 ft). They are largely scavengers and build a tree nest in which two or three eggs are laid. The legs are black, but are usually covered in faeces, which make them white.
