They normally don’t like any kind of disturbances from humans therefor once they are disturbed by humans, the can even leave there nests and look for habitation elsewhere. The shoebill stork birds are described as statue-like bird species due to the fact that they are fond of standing and staying still for a long period of time. This bird can be identified because of its distinctive features from other bird for example its feathers are medium blue-grey and its tail is the same color as its wings and when it flies, its legs extend straight back far past its tail, and when you view it at a far distance especially while it’s in its habitat, its size and wingspan make it appear different from other birds. As it flies, its neck draws back in other words, it’s retracted. The shoebill is a slow bird that it does not even fly for more than 500 meters depending on each shoebill, their distance of flying ranges between 100m-500m especially due to its large nature and their flapping rate is about 150 flap per minute. These birds are found in Tropical East Africa around the large fresh water swamps. But however, due to the fact that the adult shoebill are always grey and their young ones always brown, this genetic evidence classifies them among the pelecaniformes. They are one of the five most desired birds in Africa and due to the fact that it’s a stork-like bird, it has been classified among the ciconiiformes as a result of its morphology. The shoebill stork also known as whalehead is a long-legged, large stork-like bird that derives its name from its large sized shoe shaped bill.
