@joancarroll this photo has spurred me clearing something up in my mind.

I now know the "jabiru" is not an Australian bird (the black-necked stork), but a bird of the Americas 😖

While somewhat related, not closely. I suppose it's better than what we call a "magpie" 😆

@sortius not sure what you mean, but this jabiru stork is a big bird, while a magpie is small. The coloring is very different than a black necked stork. thanks for having a look!
