Karula National Park (Karl II and Kaia)

[Adria]

Kaia serves fish, frogs


number 4 also ate a little

[Adria]

everyone ate, No. 4 the least
After feeding, Kaia cleaned and massaged the chicks

[marika.solo]

crow/s? something disturbed Kaia



this time she clapped with her bill (it is threatening sound)




11.12 the threat seems to have flown away, she followed something with her eyes and calmed down

[marika.solo]

chicks have shadow - Kaia = mom(um)brella, but I think they also need a shower, water, wet moss; chap chap is the sound when they are thirsty

[Adria]

11.15 - Kaia FEEDING (4), one big fish




No.2 ate the fish

[Adria]

13.51 - No.1 pooping , he is already trying to stand

[marika.solo]

15:17, 15:28 Kaia pecked the little one on the head and once even pulled it a little to the left - storklet is frozen (scared silent)

continuation



the little storklet showed no activity (the three ate something small)


the fourth chick lags behind in development in my opinion (this is not just a difference caused by latest hatching)

[Adria]

15.31 - Kaia FEEDING (5), small snack


No.2 ate


No. 3 also ate something

[Adria]

No. 1 also ate something


No.4 had his back turned and showed no interest

[marika.solo]

16.02 change - KARL II in from right side, Kaia immediately out to the left

short preening (but chicks are hungry - most our benajmin)



the fourth chick lags behind in development in my opinion (this is not just a difference caused by later hatching)
I'm worried - it's not just a matter of avoiding elimination, it's a matter of becoming a big enough and strong stork to handle the migration
fingers crossed very, very much!

feeding (6) - rain of frogs (bigger, smaller)



little one ate at least 3-4 bigger frogs with some difficulties and some little too
