They do "clean up" when living as waders. These ones have only had water for a day. The ones which share our rubbish dump with other scavengers (egrets, baboons & humans) are another story.

Subject: Re: PESO: Maribou Storks

I spent some time once by the side a Lake Sidamo in Ethiopia where there were a lot of maribou storks, and I disagree. I think they're rather fascinating close up. They reminded me of old school masters, hunched and wise-looking. They used to stroll along the track by the lakeside, among the people. They're very tall and rather wonderful.

they have a high disgust factor.
Impressively sharp image!

Maribou Storks scavenging for snacks at Sable Dam which now contains a bit of water after a recent storm. Probably the world's most disgusting birds.
You can see there is no grass growth yet.
