In the Bible, the stork is often associated with themes of migration and care, as it is known for its faithful return to its nesting grounds and its nurturing behavior towards its young. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the stork was admired for its loyalty and care for its offspring.
