Before we begin the How To Draw a Stork drawing lesson, here are some fun facts about storks you might find interesting, especially for kids.

• Storks have long legs, necks and bills adapted for wading in shallow wetlands to catch frogs, fish, snakes and insects.
• Their feathers are mainly white but some have black patches on wings or tails. Storks stand over 3 feet tall on land.
• Families consist of monogamous pairs that may stay together for many breeding seasons or lifelong.
• Nests are enormous platforms of sticks and branches rebuilt annually on high structures like chimneys, towers or treetops.
• Storks are migratory, traveling in flocks thousands of miles between European and African homes each year.
• Bill-clattering and wing-clapping are ways storks communicate warnings or locations of food sources and nest sites.
• They are culturally significant in some regions, where they were thought to deliver babies or represent new life.
• Though mainly predatory, stork diets include frogs, insects, small mammals or carrion depending on location.
• Storks play important ecological roles through pest control and distributing nutrients from wetlands across lands.
• Some stork species like wood storks are threatened by habitat loss, making conservation efforts important to their survival.
