Pair of Jabiru

Plenty of feed for the whole family!Food and feeding The Black-necked Stork feeds on fish, small crustaceans and amphibians. Most prey is caught by the bird jabbing and seizing it with its large bill. Some food is caught by lunging forward with a large stride or by leaping into the air. Black-necked Stork egg © Australian Museum Breeding Pairs bond for several years, perhaps for life. The nest is a large platform of sticks and other vegetation, which is placed in a tall tree in the vicinity of water. Birds are secretive and nest in isolated pairs. Courtship is mostly absent, with the exception of some bowing and clapping of bills. The two to four eggs are white and conical and are incubated by both parents. Both also care for the young.
