Curve-billed Stork
Or "Kromsnavelooievaar", like its discoverer, netherlands famous natural scientist Erasmus Class van der Ailer (1623-1666), called this meanwhile extincted species. CBS was 3x bigger as storks are today. In van der Ailer's time people thought, CBS's curved bill was a result from carrying the new born babies near to their cradle! Today we're much more smarter about this misinterpretation, 'cause babies haven't enough weight for that... ;)
If s.b. walks stiff-leggedly, we call it in Germany: "...wie ein Storch im Salat!" Enjoy and have FUN!
