Which of the following statements are true about Painted storks?
1) Painted storks are founded in the wetlands of the plains of tropical Asia south of the Himalayas in the Indian Subcontinent and extend up to Southeast Asia.
2)They get their name from the colour they get after having shrimps and other saltwater fish
Correct
Option A is the right answer. Because Mycteria leucocephala (Painted Stork) is a big wader of the stork family. It lives in the marshes of tropical Asia’s plains, south of the Himalayas in the Indian Subcontinent and spreading into Southeast Asia. The adults are named after their striking pink tertial feathers. They forage in large groups in shallow water around rivers and lakes. They submerge their half-open beaks in the water, sweep them from side to side, and grab up their touch-sensible prey of small fish.
