Next you'll tell me that these bird will turn the water into wine as they walk over it. Do they have just really long legs are they in some way actually walking on water or at least the lily pads?

Yes, the water around them turns into wine. XD


heh heh. Actually, their feet are very large compared to their body, but this allows them to walk along floating vegetation like lily pads. So your hunch was correct.
