However, they also will fly for days. I think that to 20, August 24 should no longer be on the nests of storks – Menderski said and added that the storks that after this date will still be on the slots probably will not fly away and the winter in Poland.

– let them have a little pomieszkać in the nests, and in October or November – depending on the weather – we take these storks bird rehabilitation centers, there to survive the winter – explained Menderski.

Among the birds that have flown away include stork family with Żywkowa, which passed in the summer the country’s first successful adoption: young adult couple lost ornithologists and planted them into the slot corresponding to the other storks age that have died. Adult storks alien chicks pecked initially, but then stopped and, moreover, took care of podrzutkami. – Adoption of this we believe to be fully successful. It is a great success – stressed Menderski.
