A fly stretches a spider web.

A stretched (or compressed) elastic object stores elastic potential energy. The other scenarios involve different energy types (the bird mainly has gravitational potential energy while perched, the snake is in motion/using kinetic energy, and the dog sniffing involves biochemical/thermal processes).
