Wintering with the storks
Like many of our birds, Otis the Abdim Stork spends the coldest months of winter inside, enjoying climate control and free fish delivered to his room.
Here you see Otis being a stork. He has beautiful colors, doesn't he?
The Abdim is sometimes referred to as the white-bellied stork. It is the smallest of the stork family and is native to parts of Africa.
What a beautiful bird!
