09.15.51 Natalio covered his chicks


these colours - simply beautifull


09.37.29 again up and Natalio preens herself

[marika.solo]

cute little storklets (Natalio aerates or preens her-self)

[marika.solo]

- storklets mostly sleep, their position (entanglement) is constantly changing - now and then I'm not sure which head belongs to which body
- trio is able pooping out and preening itself (adult storks aerate the nest bowl, move the nesting material, bring new material to the nest (especially the male), but I don't see any of them preening the chicks)

[marika.solo]

their necks are again empty


stretching the little legs


self-preening

3/ FEEDING (?) - 12.18 - regurgitated the pellet (and ate it back) and the oldest stork ate a few pieces of something



they need food already again (last feeding at 09.05)

[marika.solo]

for a while they sleep, for a while they ask for food one by one



they chirping more and more often and louder
