I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a stork' is the definition.
(I have seen 'African stork ' mean 'shoebill' so perhaps 'stork' could also mean 'shoebill')

'brought a cobbler's account?' is the wordplay.
'brought a cobbler' becomes 'shoe' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'account?' becomes 'bill' ('bill' can be a synonym of 'account').
'shoe'+'bill'='SHOEBILL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for shoebill that I've seen is " African stork".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
