What does the stork say?
 
Hi everybody!

The cat says meow,
the dog say woof,
the frog ...ribet ribet...

I wonder what the STORK says?? Me and my KG children would love to know :)

Please let me know, I can �t find anything in google...

Greetings!

To be honest I �ve never heard the noise a stork makes, I arrived in the world the usual way;)

But a guess would be that it squawks?? It won �t be a tweet or chirp... I have heard that crane �s "clang" though, and they are kinda similar. Probably a great question for an ornithologist:)

...also a frog croaks:)

I �ve found on the net, that "stork�s syrinx � birds� vocal organ � is so retarded in development that it does not produce sounds." (www.storks.poland.pl) Storks only clatter their beaks, which in Polish is recognized as the sound "kle kle" ;) In Etaco dictionary "klekot" = "clack.

Btw, the frog says ribbit, ribbit  << at least I �ve seen such spelling

Hope it helps ;)

I have been trying to find the answer for you, I couldn �t.

You know, there are so many ws here on animal homes, sounds, etc...... maybe there is something there? Couldn �t go through all of them. Good luck!

Kind regards

Hi
I just googled it and found the following on this website:   
 
Storks are usually quiet, but they can make a variety of sounds that range from hissing, honking, and croaking to squealing, mooing, and whistling.
 
Hope it helps.

The sound storks produce doesn �t come from their vocal cords, but from clacking (the mandibles) of their bills or beaks. I suppose you could say storks �clack �, although I have to admit it �s not a frequently used expression.
