As everyone knows, I am very interested in black storks and their behavior. You can also see it in the amount of videos I've uploaded 😂. I have also been active in a forum since 2015 and have documented the events at the nests on a daily basis.
I was asked if I would take part in a study. It is about Filial cannibalism in the Black Stork (Ciconia nigra). Since I documented many of these events, it wasn't work for me.
L.S, Cano-Alonso did the work and read all my posts in the forum
The study was posted online yesterday.
you can read the results here. Leading ornithological scientists were involved:
Filial and sibling cannibalism have never been documented in Black Storks (Ciconia nigra). We gathered information on 34 breeding events in 10 Black Stork nests from Estonia (three nests), Hungary (two nests), Poland (two nests) and Spain (three nests) being monitored with camera surveillance, live streaming webcams or intensive monitoring control of nests. Overall, we recorded 16 cases of filial infanticide and two cases where the nestlings died by natural causes and were later cannibalized by either their siblings or their parents......
