About the Black-necked Stork
Also known as: Green-necked Stork, Jaribu
The Black-necked Stork is a large species of wading bird found in parts of India, southeast Asia, and Australia. They live around freshwater wetland habitats, including both natural and man-made bodies of water.
Black-necked Storks have a bold black-and-white plumage, with their black feathers shiny with iridensence. The head and neck is bluish black and the legs are bright orange-red.
Black-necked Storks have a dancing mating ritual which includes wing-fluttering and beak-clapping. They are primarily carnivores, dining on prey items that could include small water birds, fish, crabs, and turtle eggs.
