Dear bird friends and watchers of the webcams!

I am a constant bird camera observer and ponder about what is seen there: who, what, why and how in the nest life of the chicks since their hatching.

I have noticed similarities as well as differences depending on the species, the age of the chicks and other factors such as the relations between parents and chicks and external forces.

In the case of the chicks of the black storks it has been clear that their internal relations are close and many different behaviours and reactions can be seen.
