Black Stork Nest in Karula, 2021

[Tatiana60]

19.23.59, 716 T evaluates synchronous exercises of athletes.


19.32.44, we have 716 P in front of us. Do you see a satisfied little smile?


and our 716 P can also make up such an eight:

[Heloise]

19:44, 19:45 "Jumping exercises" again (716U)

[Tatiana60]

19.45.53, 716 P has hopes for manna from heaven (dinner from heaven)

[Tatiana60]

19.52.53, 716 T can also jump.


20.03, the tail has grown up and the figure-heart (716 P) is already turning out.

[Heloise]

19:54 716T allows himself to be admired
Yes, applause! These were great jumps

[Tatiana60]

cutie...

20.09, jump queue 716 P


20.10, handsome 716 P


20.10, it happened by accident

[Tatiana60]

20.10, it happened by accident and again, and again by accident...


20.12, when the elders are arguing, it is better for the younger to crawl away unnoticed to the edge of the nest.


2021.07.22, 20.13, don't swear... I won't hurt you

[Tatiana60]

20:13:10 I won't hurt you, I'll even scratch your neck...


20:15 it is better to close all eyes to this... let them do what they want - jump... fly..


stork-716 P is not interested in jumping - there are no spectators... and he lay down to rest...

20.24, I will not let you offend

[Tatiana60]

20:35, 20:57:41, 21:01...21:40...
the baby sleeps on the shoulder of the older chick

[Tatiana60]

The youngest wanted to sleep after 18.15... ( he ate, did not jump, and kept trying to lie down or sit down to sleep) , but he did not succeed in any way... How to explain his passivity after 18 hours? I was worried about him...

I watched the video of the last feeding. His neck is full of food. Apparently he ate a big fish that Karl II brought, then frogs - He ate well and dreams of digesting everything. No incidents could make him lose his temper...

Here and now at 22.15 he is lying, although the elder is trying to wake him up...

22.16.05 the baby got up, stretched, took a big PS and returned to the center of the nest, sat down. Most likely, he will lie down again now.

[Tatiana60]

716P also touched the younger one with his beak, but failed to raise it... The older of the chicks again sorted out the relationship with their beaks (not evil), but the younger one does not worry...

22:21 both older chicks touched the baby's head - he is sleeping.
716P jumps - he has 2/3 of the nest at his disposal, he walks proudly opening his wings... he stepped on the youngest chick, he got up, but did not get up, but just sat down.

22:23 716 T lay down again. The older one also went to him.

The restless 716 P tries to wake up both the younger and the older... he touches them with his beak and foot... waving his wings over them - it's all useless.

716 P is bored... he was a little distracted cleaning his feathers.

[Tatiana60]

22.28 he sat down at the feet (at the tails) of two other chickens, touched their tails and is probably going to sleep... The younger one caresses the head of the older chick and calms down again.

The wind rustles in the pines, you can't hear the birds, but you can hear the crickets.
All three chicks are trying to fall asleep.
Good night, everyone...

Tatiana, our 716T was a great "beak fighter" with the 716U, who started this fight.

I checked all by rewinding the stream.

And he jumped too!

19.52.53, 716 T can also jump.

He posed nicely at 19:54

At 19:59-20:00 s/he was very active... walked around, jumped and made wing exercises. Some photos:

(here s/he cleans the sibling´s dress:)







I think our youngest "baby" is fine!

[Heloise]

P.P.S.
There was another funny moment. After the "beak fight", 716P lay down and 716T almost sat on him. When s/he stood up, s/he stepped on P's tail (or wing?). And after a while, P "stabbed" T a little, it was only a moment!

19:09

[Heloise]

Why did you step on my wing?



Maybe that's why s/he teased 716T even later?

Never step on someone's tail or wing, they won't tolerate it!

Good night!

[Swenja]

July 23


Good Morning!



07:01:43 P put down a pellet.

[Swenja]

07:27 feeding Karl II
He could not put the food down properly. After a long effort, one fish came out. T got it.

[Heloise]

Good morning!

Many thanks, Swenja!

07:43:42 the storklets see someone and they they start begging for food...



08:00:18 Karl II comes to the nest but flies away again, no feeding

[Tatiana60]

Good morning. Thank you for this morning's report.

08.38.01 Karl II is back
Apparently, he didn't give everything he had... The food comes out hard... of course, there is a prickly fish or a very dense lump...

08.42.08, 716 P holds 716C's father by the beak - he asks for breakfast
