newest news by Dr.M.L. about "our" storklets : viewtopic.php?p=4210#p4210
STREAMING https://video.emu.ee/
- on 11.06 storks got a new nest: reasonably large, very similar to nests in the forest (also with pine cones and tree leaves) - great work! thank you Dr. Madis

TODAY FEEDINGS
08.47 + 14.37 + 15.46 + 18.00 + 23.40
(yesterday feeding: 10.39 + 14.56 + ? + 21.57)

AGE of the chicks:
- 1st + 2nd + 3rd: 21 day old

in the wild chicks stay alone in the nest from a certain age
Book says:
"In den ersten 3 bis 4 Lebenswochen bewacht ein Alstorch beständing fie Dunenjugen. Angaben über die zeitliche Dauer de Bewachung variieren ... " (p.217)
In the first 3 to 4 weeks of life, a Adultstork constantly guards the downyoungs. Information about the duration of the guard varies ...

Marika: it depend most probably on the food searches as we can observing on the streamed nests; the parents only come to feed them and protect them from the sun and rain

"... dunenjungen im Alter von 14 - 21 Tagen kurzzeitig aufrecht stehen können. (p.221)
Down young are able to stand upright for a short time at the age of 14 - 21 days.

Dunenjunge = Down young: down young or pullus is a nestling in its first plumage (down plumage)

Hello everyone

07.55.33


07.55.59 Middle (No2) is standing


edit:
the difference is still (very) visible, but it is not so big already (to me)

I looked back, it seems to me that the situation changed after the substitute feeding (then No3 missed the next feedings - without interest of food)
Adriána, what's your opinion?

[marika.solo]

the view of the nest is constantly changing during the day
the birds are singing and the cuckoo is still here in the vicinity
