Seeing a stork signifies a group of men who like gathering and partnership and desire such association.
Ja'far al-Sadiq said that seeing a stork is interpreted in four ways: a farmer, a small and weak ruler, a guard, and a poor stranger.
Seeing a stork land on the roof of one's house signifies that a person of great fame and renown will come as a guest. Sometimes a stork signifies the arrival of a distant friend.
Seeing storks scattered about is good and favorable for travelers. Killing a stork signifies crushing a relentless enemy. Catching a stork and taking it home signifies marriage to a noble woman of good lineage.
