Ten documented stork species in licensed photographs, comparing visible plumage, bills and silhouettes. An editorial selection, not a ranking of beauty, size or rarity. Scene 3 was photographed at London Zoo; scene 4 shows birds beside a managed pond in Japan and is not presented as a wild setting. Visuals are real Wikimedia Commons photographs, not AI-generated images. Narration is synthesized with Edge TTS. Photographs are resized and fitted to a portrait frame; derived images retain their source licenses. White stork: Charles J.
