" You can now follow live the reproduction of the black storks from our center!!
The animals recovering at the GREFA Wildlife Hospital , as well as the couples of the threatened species that breed at our breeding center, we constantly monitor them through a video-surveillance system.
It's the case of "Sun" and "Shadow", our breeding black storks, whose day to day in the nest you can now also watch live on the GREFA channel on Youtube."

Thank you Maria

I think giving them pine branches wasn't a good idea (the leaves/"needles" can sting them during incubation, right?)

info na czacie:
8:42 PM Grefa
​​"No son los mejores padres incubando pero con la experiencia de otros años, los huevos estan en nuestras incubadoras y los que veis son de escayola. ​​Cuando nazcan los pollos y crezcan un poco daremos el cambiazo y empezara la diversión." / "Nie są najlepszymi rodzicami, jeśli chodzi o inkubację, ale dzięki doświadczeniom z poprzednich lat jaja trafiają do naszych inkubatorów, a te, które widzimy, są zrobione z gipsu. Kiedy pisklęta się urodzą i trochę podrosną, zamienimy je miejscami i zabawa się zacznie."

translation:
They're not the best parents at incubating, but with experience from other years, the eggs are in our incubators, and the ones you see are made of plaster. When the chicks hatch and grow a little, we'll switch them over, and the fun will begin.
