Alustame kasulaps Boonusest, kes on tänaseks juba üle kahe kuu vanune, täpsemalt 62 päevane. Boonus ja pesapoegadest suurim (jalarõngaga 718W) said omale esmaspäeva öösel vastu teisipäeva raadiosaatjad: LINK
Tavapärase pesaelu juures, kus kõik on enam vähem sarnase arenguga, alustavad noorlinnud pesast välja lendama umbes nädala möödudes, kui ollakse saanud kahe kuu vanusteks. Karula pesas on kasupoja ja noorema ning pisema pesapoja vanuste vahe üheksa päeva.
Kaks vanemat kurepoega koorusid samal päeval. Nemad said täna kaheksa nädala vanusteks, pisem on nimetatud kurepoegadest veel kolm päeva noorem ehk 53 päeva vanune.
Poegade toitmist abistavad kalasumbad, mida isaslind Karl hästi kasutab ja toidab poegi kolmel korral päevas. Emaslind Kaia toob pesasse poegadele toitu tavalisemalt kahel korral olles sageli otsinud ojalähedastelt heinamaadelt või niitudelt kahepaikseid. Raske on suurte tiibadega vehkivate kurepoegade vahelt näha millega vanalinnud neid toidavad.
Kurepoegade sulgimine hakkab tasapisi otsakorrale jõudma ja sel nädalal on öösiti vanalinnule kohaselt püsti magatud, aga veel mitte kogu öö.
Let's start with the foster child Bonus, who is already over two months old today, 62 days to be exact. Bonus and the largest of the nestlings (718W with a leg ring) received Tuesday's a transmitters on Monday night: LINK
In normal nest life, where everyone has a more or less similar development, the young birds start to fly out of the nest after about a week, when they have reached the age of two months. In the Karula's nest, the age difference between the stepchick and the younger and smallest nestling is nine days.
Two older stork chicks hatched on the same day. They turned eight weeks old today, the smallest one is three days younger than the siblingss, i.e. 53 days old.
Feeding the chicks is aided by fish balls, which the male bird Karl uses well and feeds the chicks three times a day. The female Kaia brings food to the nest for the young more than twice, often after looking for amphibians in the meadows or meadows near the stream. It is difficult to see what the old birds are feeding them with among the stork chicks flapping their big wings.
The nesting of the stork chicks is gradually coming to an end, and this week the old bird has been sleeping up at night, but not all night yet.
