LIST OF STORYE, STORY, STOREY, AND STORIE ARMS.
In "The Golden Legend," by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, of Nahant, Massachusetts. this passage occurs regarding the stork:-

"Bertha:Did he give us the beautiful stork above
On the chimney top, with its large, round nest?
Gottlieb:No, not the stork; by God in heaven,
As a blessing, the dear white stork was given.
But the Prince has given us all the rest."
