The Marabou stork is a fascinating example of the fact than even the ugliest bird can make an interesting picture... (In Sweden the Marabou stork is used as the logotype of a chocolate company. When the company took that decision they must have seen an embellished drawing of the bird only. Had the representatives known how ugly it is, and what feeding habits it has, they would have chosen another bird...)
En av de fulaste fåglar jag vet är maraboustorken. Ironiskt nog utgör den ju logotype för ett känt chokladföretag i Sverige. De kan inte ha sett den i verkligheten.
