these are some of the smartest birds I had the opportunity to care for in a zoo
flight cage. They used to be listed in the falcon family due to their wing molt
pattern. But they may have been re-designated with the more advanced
DNA studies now being used. I have heard that the storks are considered to
be more closely related to the vultures than the cranes so the science will
continue to change taxonomy.
