The White Stork migrates
like many other birds do. The male storks are almost always
the first to return. After a long flight from over
6,000 miles, they usually
land on the rooftop nests they left the autumn before. These
nests are called aeries.

The White Stork lives in parts
of Europe, Asia, and Northern Africa in the summer,
and Africa in the winter.
The White Stork is almost
voiceless. Sometimes they communicate by clapping
the two parts of their bills together to make a
noise. White storks make so much noise they are
nicknamed 'clatter storks'. The storks have a 6 to
8 inch long bill.

grasshoppers, mice, fish, and other small mammals.
They have a white body with
black flying feathers and a red bill. These storks
look like a heron.
