Let's know about african's regal avian icon: saddle-billed stork

Adult male has black and white plumage. On the upperparts, mantle is white until the lower back which is black, as the rump. Wings and tail are black, with green iridescence.
On the underparts, breast, belly, vent and undertail coverts are white. On the under wing, coverts are black. Flight feathers and leading edges are white. Undertail feathers are black. 

Head and neck are black. The huge, slightly up curved bill is red, with large black band in the first half. Base is red, with conspicuous yellow frontal shield (the “saddle”) at upper base. We can see two small bright yellow wattles at lower base.
Eyes are dark brown. Legs and feet are blackish, with pinkish knees.

Female is slightly smaller than male. She is similar in plumage, but she has yellow eyes and she lacks the two wattles at base of the bill.

Juvenile is duller, mostly grey overall. Immature resembles adults, but duller.

It reaches its sexual maturity at three years or more
