the stork . The stork is a species of the ardea or heron genus , about the size of a goose in its body , but when erect , about three or four feet high; its general colour is white; extremity of the wings , and small part of the head , black; legs , very long , red , and naked a great way up; the toes four , long and connected , with flat nails like those of a man; beak long , jagged , red , and somewhat compressed; the upper and under chaps both of a length , with a furrow from the nostrils. It feeds on serpents , frogs , and insects , on which account it might be deemed unclean; lays four eggs , and sits thirty days; migrates about August , and returns in spring; and is remarkable for its love to its parents , whom it never forsakes , but feeds and cherishes when old; whence it had the name chaseedah , which denotes kindness or piety , and stork , from the Greek ףפןסדח , natural affection.
