Some interesting facts about wheels

The storks, known for their white feathers, large wingspan, large beak and long legs, are among the most fascinating birds on Earth. But, not all storks are completely covered with white feathers, the black stork is also fascinating, which is completely dark on the upper side of the body, and only the belly and chest are white. Most genera live in warm, tropical areas of Florida, South America, Africa, India and Asia. Several species of the genus live in cold areas and migrate south during the winter.

There are over 19 known species in the genus Ciconiidae. They vary in size and color and live on all continents except Antarctica.

Storks are heavy birds. Since they cannot fly far, flapping their wings, they glide on warm air currents called thermoenergetics. Certain species of the genus have wings that extend longer than 8 meters.

Traveling south can keep storks in the air for up to 49 days. Although they usually spend winters in Africa, researchers have recently discovered large nests of European white storks in Portugal.

Unlike other birds, storks do not have a fully developed singing organ, or vocal box, and are generally considered quiet and rarely advertised. Some species of stork scream and hiss clapping loudly and loudly with their beaks twisting their long necks backwards.

Storks make large nests 9 meters wide or larger on trees, on cliffs, on roofs, or even on the tops of telephone poles. Some species of white storks use the same nest from year to year.

Storks often live in swamps. They use their long, deep beaks to catch fish, frogs, shellfish, small reptiles, small mammals, birds and insects. Some species of the genus eat dead animals and thus keep the land clean.

The stork is a very strong and brave bird. The injured stork fights to the last breath and tries to hit the eye of a man or some animal that attacked it with its beak.
