the rescued juvenile BS Bobeš:
69X4: the stork's left leg is not fine (and the ornithological ring is down)
- Mr. Šejna made an assumption of an inborn or developmental defect
- I asked and Mr. František Pojer answered: na hnízdě nebyl pozorován žádný defektní jedinec, kovový kroužek byl umístěn nad prsty u všech 4 mláďat
no defective individual was observed on the nest, the metal ring was placed above the toes of all 4 chicks
I assume that there was an injury and this is what caused the stork to be unable to find and/or catch food after fledging the nest
