white storks
Rooftop nesting birds
White storks are large wading birds with white plumage, black wing feathers, and long red beaks and legs.
Native to Europe and parts of Asia and Africa, they nest on rooftops and chimneys, which led to folklore associating them with bringing babies.
They migrate long distances and are considered symbols of good luck in many cultures.
