These are a common site in many parts of Uganda. Stories are told, in Idi Amins time of rule, the many local people he murdered, their bodies were left to rot in the capital, Kampala's town square. These birds did their bit for nature and cleaned up and ate the bodies. Needless to say, I am informed, due to suspicion, these storks to this day are not harmed or touched by the local people. The birds are still scavengers and can be seen at many rubbish dumps.
