17:16 Oh Dear, the nest full of worms and the next delivery by Gaja. :slap:
They can not beg anymore. The whole neck is full up to the upper edge :rotf:

The food has ben regurgitate into the nest. They did not eat.
They are sitting on the food. One of them popped on it :innocent:

I'm glad that they are not frogs. They would jump through the nest :mrgreen:

Good evening, :wave:

thank you so much, Liz, for all the reports, videos and cute pictures from our storklets. :2thumbsup:
It's wonderful, that the parents are so exceptionally busy and successful with food deliveries.
I'm very happy that at this nest was never a critical situation relating to food, which could have threaten the life of the smallest storklet. We all are really lucky to watch a nest with such good conditions. :D :2thumbsup:

I'm very thankful that the people in rescue station take so much care for the storklet. The last picture looks promising, and I hope, the storklet will recover completely. :2thumbsup:

Just I switched in here, it's absolutely also my opinion. It's really great to see all four storklets doing so well. Great parents.

20:39 What a big crop the storklet in the middle has! :faint: :D
I think, it's the smallest one, isn't it?
Image

20:41 And it's quite dirty! Poor little one! I can imagine the storklets don't like being that dirty. But they have to live with it. 8-)

The storklets hardly move. I guess, they all are still in a kind of food coma. :D

20:55 Yawning and two or three times wing flapping is all they do.
Image

21:05 They are sitting calm and digest their opulent meals. :D

21:44 I had hoped, that an other storklet has interest to take the worm. And so it was. Here the first storklet is "at work". :D
Image

It turned out they were two worms. Each storklet on the right side has grabbed one. :laugh: But they didn't eat them. They are still full. :D

21:46 They are so full; even for a PS this storklet didn't move to the nest edge. It just stood up.
If I saw it right, it has hit the worms under its bottom with the PS. :rolleyes:

Image

22:30 Cute! :D I hope, all are well and have not eaten too much.

This was an unusual evening. I've never seen the storklets so calm and almost motionless. The amount of food they have eaten, must have been enormous.
22:50
Image

22:59 Only at this late hour two of them preened themselves a little bit.
Image

23:39
Image

About 20 minutes later all storklets laid down and seemed to sleep a little.

Good night! :wave:
