prof. Zielinski (youtube chat info):
The direct cause was that he brought an insufficient amount of food, resulting in nutritional stress, which is the biological trigger that prompts adult birds to start the process of brood reduction.

Hello everyone

CHICKS () ()
- 1st chick: 25 days old (hatched late evening 24.05)
- 2nd chick: 24 days old (hatched early morning 25.05)
- 3rd chick: 24 days old (hatched afternoon 25.05)
Brood reduction by male
- 4th chick: days old (hatched late evening 26.05)
- 5th chick: days old (hatched afternoon 28.05)

Stork chicks grow exponentially. 90 days in the nest is like 18-21 years for humans. This means that 1 day in the nest is like almost 3 months for a human child. That is why their transformation is so amazing and fast.
