11.53 - joint sitting


12.03 - Bonus communicates with probably the oldest chick

[Adria]

12.35 - Bonus: Guess where my head is?


12.38 - Bonus is training


12.45 - Bonus does reconstruction work on the nest

[Adria]

12.59 - Bonus is cleaning one of the chicks - an attempt at communication.
I noticed that the K&K chicks do not communicate as much as Bonus was used to with his own siblings.


14.16 - The chicks started chirping and lined up in a circle - as if they saw one of the parents, but nothing was visible on the camera. No one flew in and the chicks ones stopped chirping after a while.


14.17 - Bonus PS almost nothing (bad)

Hi, Adriana.
Thanks for updates.

As for the biting of the rings and legs- it seems more playful than to do any harm to Bonus. The storklets are getting more curious every day. So in my eyes it's not a problem

And it's good to see them playing games and bonding. They have become a big happy family now. I notice Bonus and K3( the smallest one) together side by side quite often.

I noticed very small PS among KK's chicks even before Bonus's arrival. Although the food is not a big problem and the chicks are fed regularly and sufficient.
Maybe it's the heatwave- body needs more hydration, thus it produces less waste...that's my version..

Let's not think any worrysome thoughts yet

I noticed this mainly because the other chicks had PS just fine. That's why I was a little surprised by PS Bonus.

Maybe they will be a nice couple in the future - Bonus is a boy and the youngest is a girl.
