We really can't say this is a beautiful bird but it is a powerful effective "cleaner" that will eat dead animals and leftovers but it can certainly take down flamingoes and will do it if it gets the chance so beware flamingoes - the dreaded Marabou Stork is around and will not be leaving empty beaked...especially as indicated in the picture the beak seems to have been put to good use with its reddish colour...
