Stork
Storks are primarily carnivorous and eat reptiles, small mammals, insects, fish, amphibians and other small invertebrates. They devour almost all living things without distinction. It is perhaps this destruction of living things that Adam saw when he named the stork "not understanding holiness and mercy". Holiness and mercy are primary attributes of God, so he named it "Not understanding God".
One of God's names is 'Elohim' אלהים. It means 'God אל separated from men ים by ignorance'. His name tells us that he wants us to know him. Some say you have to believe God before you can know him. But that is not what God said. He said you could know him first, then trust and understand him. [1]
The main purpose of God is to teach us who he is. He is Holy, or different and separated. [2]; He alone is God. He also teaches that he is Love. [3]
