The Painted Stork is a large stork of South, East, and Southeast Asian wetlands, floodplains, and coasts. It searches shallow water, wet fields, floodplains, or open grassland for fish, amphibians, insects, and other prey, and many populations gather at seasonal wetlands or migrate between breeding and non-breeding areas.
