... 'tis a marvellous bird, the stork

Although - equally wonderful - the *pelican

*Holds more in its beak than its belly can!

Never been sure of the difference(s) between these two very LARGE birds mentioned ... because, based on photos that I've seen, they're rather similar in appearance.

Pelicans are larger and heavier than storks.
Storks have a longer neck compared to pelicans.
Pelicans have a characteristic pouch as a part of their bill, but not in storks.
Pelicans have the largest bill among all the birds.

I remember seeing either a pelican or stork feasting on a seagull in a busy UK park. The video is probably still on YouTube.

Nope - which makes me wonder that pelicans/storks gobble up other birds fairly regularly.
