Marabou Stork: The Picture That Got Nairobi Chicken Lovers Nauseous
Marabou Stork: The Picture That Got Nairobi Chicken Lovers Nauseous: The picture of a boda boda rider delivering a dead marabou stork to city restaurant operators that has been doing the rounds on Facebook.

Nairobians have reacted with shock and dismay after a picture purporting to show a boda boda rider delivering a dead marabou stork to unscrupulous city restaurant operators was posted on Facebook this week.

The image was posted by a Facebook user called Jarunda Jaluth Mambobiad on January 11. It was captioned: โ€œThis was last night. This man & his group supply these birds to hotels right in the CBD of Nairobi. These birds are called Marabou Stork. You will see them roosting on the trees opposite Nyayo Stadium or at Dandora dumping site. Be very very careful where you eat your chicken stew in town.โ€

The Nairobi News could not independently authenticate the allegations of the picture that has been shared 1,000 times and attracted tens of comments.

Kiragu Mwaniki said: โ€œSimple thinkingโ€ฆ If thatโ€™s so we just need less than one hour to bring them to extinct considering the rate at which we eat chicken.โ€

Diana Awuor Magak actually claimed to have witnessed the wild bird being hunted: โ€œWhile back I took a cab from the airport when we fikad that tree the birds were many and I remember what I said I can remember laughing over what he said. โ€œWa Nairobi wamependa kukuchoma kwa mahoteli licha ni hizo ndenge ndio hao hulaโ€ lol today Jarunda Jaluth Mambobiad iconfirmโ€ฆ.eroo (sic),โ€ she wrote.

REACTIONS

Davis Son Jidraph also weighed in saying, โ€œThis (sic) Birds are very poisonous, even dogs n hyenas canโ€™t feast on it, even if it dies canโ€™t smell, so may b this bird is for restocking certain place or parkโ€ with Kimani Chege Gabriel adding: โ€œHio kikuku no kama 30kg whose source cost ( from the hunter who can be paid 300 alafu boda 100 coz no risky business) u can sell it as boneless chicken, quarter portion with vegetable rice @ 450 times 120 quarters = 54000 pap! Minus cost ya kikuku plus rice and verges, labour and fuelโ€ฆ..30k net. So, one kikuku inalipa rent ya restaurantโ€ฆ. KUKUnomics 101 (sic).โ€

Chris Nakamet said: โ€œThis is an old trade, restaurants near buses that ply Mombasa Kampala have been in this for long, the neck and part of the body I hear has the acidic element rest is delicacy for the innocent mwananchi.โ€

Lev Manoti wrote: โ€œI ate something like chicken very bitter in (restaurantโ€™s name redacted) one day on complaining, I was told to leave it and never go back there. I think your right (sic).โ€

But Jim Haukins was unconvinced writing, โ€œThatโ€™s a bullcrap story from this guy craving for attention. Why would anyone hoping to sell meat display a marabou!!? Grow up Mrโ€ with Geoffrey Nganga also supporting him: โ€œSince nobody has fallen sick from those special Samosas and Chicken stew. Keep up Maribu Stock hunter.โ€
