Yes, I am agree with this. We have to think what kind of topic it should be. Only for links, or links with discussion...etc

Today it has made number 2. Both times. Yesterday it was number 3. It looks as if they do it when someone happens a "mishap". Yesterday it was number 3, when number 1 flapped its wings and it looked a bit unhappy.
Today, first the pinched foot. The second time, number 3 has lost its balance while standing.
When they are little, they do it all over again. The parents do not seem pleased then.
But now, they are bigger. They rarely make this head movement (head up).
I always have the impression that the storklets make this head-up-movement when they feel irritated. I believe it is a little protest. Something like saying: "Hey, be careful! Don't do that!" It happened for example when parents were preening them a little bit (too?) roughly. Or as you say, when some movement of another storklet bothers them.

Oh, Kati did not come anymore?
Well then!
Good Night in the Karula Forest
Only 3 feedings today?
Thank you very much, Ute and Swenja, for your reports, pictures and videos!
Good night, everyone!

Yes, one could summarize it under emotional excitement, in case of danger the parents rattle too. The white storks clatter even when greeting, but much more intense. they do not sing or sigh.
How do I differentiate the young storks? The photos are from 2018 06 28.
In addition to the feather growth, they differ at the beginning of the beak. It is my distinction and of course does not have to be taken over.
Nummer 1
Nummer 2
Nummer 3
Number 1 and number 3 have similar beginning of the beak. It does, however, make a clear distinction between its feather growth.
Of course, that can change with the beak. I will watch it.
The single pictures are from this photo from 2018 06 28. (except number 3, but I do not have the picture anymore)

You observe very well, Swenja!
Our storklets are undergoing a "metamorphosis".
10:58 They are today 43 and 41 days old.
11:27 Oops. A less elegant wing exercise.
12:46 Nice stretching. It is good to have someone to lean on.

I'm watching @Summi, yeah, it's too windy for wing training now ...
13:02-13:06
Such a theater was already a few minutes yesterday, until Karl finally landed ...
Maybe he chased someone? Or it is a stranger stork, but it was nothing to see?
