Protecting friends One Shoebill stork from Wild Animal Park in San Diego showed that smaller birds are not always only a delicious meal for her, but may also be considered friends. One visitor was able to take a picture of the situation when a big stork took a duck with her large beak, raised her up and moved from the way. This giant bird just leaned the duck to the side and passed on. Do these birds really know how to make a difference between friends and enemies? The fight is real Although they are mostly peaceful birds, sometimes they are really crazy. It is particularly interesting to watch a fight between the two storks, but only if you are not too close. At such moments it is clear that Shoebill storks are not always well-meaning birds. Do they fly? Maybe these birds seem too large to be able to fly. However, their wings are big enough and strong that can carry the burden of their weight from 8-15.5 lbs. Their wing span can even reach up to 260 cm, while their favorite places to live in the wild are wetlands in the African countries. The natural habitat is the best
Across the creek, on the creek flat, is a large white pine tree mixed among other deciduous trees. It is quite a ways away. About two thirds up the pine tree will be the large nest.

The POWs tried resisting as much as they could. Something they would do was steal and sometimes try to stand up against the guards, although this would come with the cost of them being beaten. The bird was one of the guards that would beat them if they dared to move or place their hands to cover their faces. So instead of moving, they took it, taking every strength in their body to not mess up and move. Some of the prisoners paid them back by stealing.
They always try to roost in the same place every evening where they are safe. You always see them during deer season and duck season but when turkey season comes in you do not really see them at all. They know they are getting pressured. They are educated from other hunters shooting at
