The largest bird in the world is Shoebill Stork. Did you know?

 

Though the shoebill stork, a species of bird native to Africa, is noteworthy for its large size (measuring up to 140cm in height) and piercing gaze, they are actually remarkably intelligent and docile to humans. In fact, if they like you, they will bow to you as a sign of respect and approval. What’s that interesting is that you can also gain a shoebill’s respect by performing a bow and if it reciprocates, you can approach it.
