Hello everyone

CHICKS
- 1st chick: 23 days old (hatched on 14.06)

EGGS
unhatched (laid on 13.05 at 22:22 and 16.05 at 02:05)

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.

Nest Activity Log 08/07/2026

It rained almost all night. Kergu didn't even try to sit down to protect the chick from the rain. He just stood over it, but unfortunately, it wasn't the typical "dadbrella" with wings spread wide. He flew away in the morning at 07:30:14. Before that, he spent a long time looking around, perhaps watching out for Kerli. The chick was chirping (since 07:06:13) intensely, begging for food.





at 07:16:16 to "lockout"
