DAY 263: BABY STORKS - FUSSY EATERS!


Surely you don't still believe that old story about the stork bringing the baby?
No, I thought not; and just as well!  

Scientists in Spain have discovered that around 40 percent of European White Stork nestlings run away from home - abandoning their parents part way through development, and sneaking into a neighbouring stork family's nest.

Why?  They were apparently dissatisfied with their parents' hunting skills & preferred the meals being served in other parts of the neighbourhood!

Shades of 'the grass is always green on the other side!'
