One of the most American ways to show off your joy is to put a stork sign on your front lawn. Stork signs are special signs that are placed on the lawn. They contain messages such as "Happy Birthday" or "Happy Anniversary" to show your joy and emotions to your friends and to your neighbors. One of the advantages of using Stork signs is the fact that they will be able to withstand the elements of the weather such as snow or the rain. The pictures are painted with vibrant colors with air brush so that they remain vibrant and dynamic all the time.

Buying a stork sign can be approximately couple of hundred dollars. Another way that you can obtain a stork sign is to rent it. This may be a cheaper option as you will be able to get the stork sign for less than one hundred dollars. Hence, as you can see, the concept of stork sign is very popular in the United States. Many people opt to share their feelings with having a stork sign in front of their garden. You can easily find a stork business near you through a simple search through the Internet.

Thus, as you can see, stork sign business is a very popular and a lucrative business for the investor. The demand from the Americans for a stork sign is great and although there are hundreds of stork sign companies in the United States, many regions still does not have enough branches to provide the service. Although a stork sign could be installed by the customer himself, in most cases the customer will require that the stork sign be installed properly on their front lawn.

Hence, you can make profit from a stork sign business easily. However, although a stork sign business can be very lucrative to the investor, you will need to properly plan for such a business. It requires a good designer as you will need to design special stork signs that are suited for the customers taste.

Where did the Stork legend originate from?

The large bird that brings newborns. We all know it but the origin is elusive.

Symbolism of storks

In Western culture the White Stork is a symbol of childbirth. In Victorian times the details of human reproduction were difficult to approach, especially in reply to a younger child's query of "Where did I come from?"; "The stork brought you to us" was the tactic used to avoid discussion of sex. This habit was derived from the once popular superstition that storks were the harbingers of happiness and prosperity, and possibly from the habit of some storks of nesting atop chimneys, down which the new baby could be imagined as entering the house.

The image of a stork bearing an infant wrapped in a sling held in its beak is common in popular culture. The small pink or reddish patches often found on a newborn child's eyelids, between the eyes, on the upper lip, and on the nape of the neck are sometimes still called "stork bites". In fact they are clusters of developing veins that often soon fade.

The stork's folkloric role as a bringer of babies and harbinger of luck and prosperity may originate from the Netherlands and Northern Germany, where it is common in children's nursery stories.

The Bible references the stork e.g. in Leviticus 11:19.

Baby-bearing stork in Buster Brown cartoonIn Walt Disney's 4th classic Dumbo, the stork (more generally "Mr. Stork") delivers babies to their animal mothers. At the beginning of the film, he delivers Dumbo to Mrs. Jumbo.

Several Warner Bros. cartoons — including Stork Naked and Apes of Wrath — cast a stork as a perpetually drunken employee of a baby-delivery service. Always losing his cargo en route to the intended recipients, the stork would find a replacement (always the wrong species) and deliver it to his clients. The stork was a bit player in these shorts, appearing at only the beginning and the end (where he returns to correct his mistake); the rest of the cartoons played out the interaction between the parents and the mismatched "child" they attempted to raise.

Vlasic uses this child-bearing stork as a mascot in North America for its brand of pickles, merging the stork-baby mythology with the notion that pregnant women have an above-average appetite for pickles.

Mythology of storks

The care of storks for their young, in their highly visible nests, made the stork a widespread emblem of parental care. It was widely noted in ancient natural history that a stork pair will be consumed with the nest in a fire, rather than fly and abandon it.
In Greek mythology, Gerana was an Æthiope, the enemy of Hera, who changed her into a stork, a punishment Hera also inflicted on Antigone, daughter of Laomedon of Troy (Ovid, Metamorphoses 6.93). Stork-Gerana tried to abduct her child, Mopsus. This accounted, for the Greeks, for the mythic theme of the war between the pygmies and the storks.
In popular Western culture, there is a common image of a stork bearing an infant wrapped in cloths held in its beak; the stork, rather than absconding with the child Mopsus, is pictured as delivering the infant, an image of childbirth.
An ancient etymology about the Pelasgians, ancient pre-Hellenic inhabitnats of Greece, links pelasgos to pelargos "stork", and postulates that the Pelasgians were migrants like storks, possibly from Egypt, where they nest.
Aristophanes deals effectively with this etymology in his comedy the Birds. One of the laws of "the storks" in the satirical cloud-cuckoo-land (punning on the Athenian belief that they were originally Pelasgians) is that grown-up storks must support their parents by migrating elsewhere and conducting warfare.
The stork is alleged in folklore to be monogamous although in fact this monogamy is serial monogamy, the pair bond lasting one season (see above). For Early Christians the stork became an emblem of a highly respected white marriage, that is, a chaste marriage.
In Norse mythology, Hoenir gives to mankind the spirit gift, the óðr that includes will and memory and makes us human (see Rydberg link). Hoenir's epithets langifótr "long-leg" and aurkonungr "mire-king" identify him possibly as a kind of stork. Such a Stork King figures in northern European myths and fables. However, it is possible that there is confusion here between the White Stork and the more northerly-breeding Common Crane, which superficially resembles a stork but is completely unrelated.
In rural Denmark, it means bad luck if a stork builds a nest on your roof; it means, that someone in the house will die before the end of the year.
For the Chinese, the stork was able to snatch up a worthy man, like the flute-player Lan Ts'ai Ho, and carry him to a blissful life.
