How much water can a Black Stork bring to the nest in one go?
Black storks primarily carry water in their oesophagus and crop (the widened part of their gullet), which allows them to transport significantly more than just what fits in their beak.
According to ornithological studies and camera observations, the water volume per trip is estimated as follows:
- An average load: A mature stork can easily bring around 100 to 200 ml of water at a time (roughly one full glass).
- Maximum capacity: During extreme heatwaves, when parents are highly motivated to cool down the nest, they can stretch their throat capacity to deliver up to 250 to 300 ml of water in a single flight.
