Bonus seems to me day by day more thin - am I wrong?

Bonus2 - very sad news viewtopic.php?p=7102#p7102

16.00 - K2 noticed something


There was a loud crash - something fell on the camera and it bounced off and fell into the nest.


It was a piece of twig from a coniferous tree

According to the last weigh-in, it has gained almost nothing. Either it's genes, or something is bothering him internally

A twig in a nest


16.03 - Bonus took her and put her on the edge of the nest


16.07 - K1 took her and put her in another place

to me it seems really day by day worse

Bonus and the little-big K3 (X)

Oh my!v

I haven't noticed Bonus in this way! This photo really shows the difference. Bonus really looks very thin. It's too bad that we can't really see from the feedings how much can Bonus eat.

I'm really hoping for a good fortune for Bonus. You can't go far with an emty stomach and weak muscles

Bonus chest will collapse

Bonus is maybe not adapted to this nest in my opinion (because it happened quite late?)
Bonus wants to fly away (to the clinic?)

feeding is very difficult to watch, but as I wrote before, it seems to me that Bonus is concentrated still more at the bottom of the nest, and our storklet does not fight (every time) for food directly from the adult's bill - am I right?

I hope very very much at least this one chick survives - finger crossed!

edit:
I am very, very grateful to Urmas for everything he does (and to Dr. Madis too)
adopting young is a very difficult thing and often fails (even with other species)
the cause can be all kinds of things, let's hope that Bonus will get stronger
