Storks and babies

Just to get to the bottom of the matter, I asked the internet if storks bring babies.  We were considering various stories that have been used to explain the occurrence of babies, money that appeared after the loss of a tooth, and gifts delivered on Christmas.

Yahoo reported 45, 800 answers to my inquiry but the first one listed was composed by artificial intelligence:

"To clarify the myth about storks bringing babies, consider these points:

• Storks are often depicted in folklore as baby deliverers, but this is a myth.

• The origin of this myth may stem from ancient cultures associating storks with fertility and new life.

• In reality, babies are born through human reproduction, not delivered by birds.

• Storks do care for their own young, which may have contributed to the legend.

• The stork myth is often used in children's stories to explain where babies come from in a gentle way.

• Understanding the real process of childbirth can help dispel this myth."

We see many babies but we have never seen a stork around here.
