Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | I loved the way the park has made the artificial nest in circular form, in 'nest' shape, although whether this is the real shape of the Painted Nest stork is another matter altogether. Painted Storks feed in groups in shallow wetlands. The preferred depth is about 12 to 25 cm of water and deeper waters are avoided. They feed mainly on small fish which they sense by touch while slowly sweeping their half open bill from side to side while it held submerged. They walk slowly and also disturb the water with their feet to flush fish. They also take frogs and the occasional snake. They breed in trees along with other water birds. The platform nests are typically placed in a tree on an island or in an otherwise undisturbed area. The best nesting sites are at the tops of the trees and birds jostle for these locations. In some areas where they have been left undisturbed they nest very close to human habitations. (Butterworth, Penang, Nov. 2013) |
