AI overview
Storks are large wading birds with long legs, long necks, and stout bills that belong to the family Ciconiidae. They matter as a distinct group of birds that scientists have classified within their own order, Ciconiiformes, though the classification of bird orders has changed over time as herons and ibises were reclassified elsewhere.

Storks are large, long-legged, long-necked wading birds with long, stout bills. They belong to the family Ciconiidae, and make up the order Ciconiiformes . Ciconiiformes previously included a number of other families, such as herons and ibises, but those families have been moved to the order Pelecaniformes.
Storks dwell in many regions and tend to live in drier habitats than the closely related herons, spoonbills and ibises; they also lack the powder down that those groups use to clean off fish slime. Bill-clattering is an important mode of communication at the nest. Many species are migratory. Most storks eat frogs, fish, insects, earthworms, small birds and small mammals. There are 20 living species of storks in six genera.
