7. Wood Stork

Last on our list of ugly birds are the large, long-legged wood storks (Mycteria americana).
Native to the South United States, Central America, and South America.
Their bodies are covered in white feathers with black tails and some black feathers on the wings.
The head and neck are gray in color and featherless – often having a scaly appearance. They have a long and thick curved bill that adds to their odd appearance.
Wood storks feed mainly on fish, although they may supplement their diet with insects, frogs, and crabs.
They are social birds that are found in large flocks throughout the year except in the breeding season when they prefer smaller groups.
