Polite Storks American storks (wood ibis) are efficient and polite. When a flock descends on a shallow pond, these birds do a sort of dance to rile the water and force tadpoles tad-poles and small fish to the -surface. As these rise to the top, they are killed by the nearest birds. But only when enough food is floating on the water for the entire en-tire flock do the birds begin to feast.
