Looking at the tag. I think its belong to Zoo Negara..Anyway here some info about this species http://www.zoonegara.org.my/animals/milkystork.html

[SoErique]

Actually, i've done some research, coz i'm sure i heard that it was a threatened species from a trip with the MNS. It is actually a threatened species. only approximately 5500 birds world wide left.

The birds you see near bird parks and zoos are actually the government's and NGO's efforts to breed and release the birds to increase the population of the birds.
