They eat insects and fishes, frogs, snakes ect.

These large birds will also eat frogs, water snakes, Nile monitors, and baby crocodiles.

More rarely the shoebills will consume turtles, snails, rodents, and small waterfowl.







Height and weight

Google:

The Shoebill stork stands 3.5 – 5 feet (1.07 – 1.5 m) tall; weigh an average of 12.3 pounds (5.6 kg); have an average wingspan of 7.7 feet (2.33 m). Males are slightly larger than females and have longer bills






Do they fly?

No they can't fly in the air but on ground?. Wait...

Google:

The shoebill is a sluggish bird that does not fly more than 500 meters depending on the individual.

Their flying distance fluctuates between 100m-500m due to their huge size, and their flapping rate is roughly 150 flaps per minute. As it flies, its neck retracts; in other words, it is retracted. ಠ_ಠ... Ok





Are they dangerous?

T

he shoebill stork will not threaten humans, but will only stare right back at them.

They are friendly towards humans and that's why... (Coughing) it ends up plugin and giving you it's feather as a present...? Weird but still cute and friendly. (^_^♪)
