Leptoptilos crumeniferus is a communal animal. They often gather in groups, usually near lakes or rivers. Although it is usually silent, the Marabou stork occasionally grunts, croaks, or rattles its bill. The stork will use its throat pouch to make these noises, especially during courtship. (Campbell, 1972)
