Painted stork feeding its young || Bharatpur || Feb 2023 With their bright and contrasting colours and large breeding colonies, Painted Storks are arguably the most popular birds in sanctuaries. After a month of incubation, young ones hatch and are on the nest for the next couple of months, when the juveniles leave the nest, their plumage is dull brown in colour. It takes 2-3 years for them to attain the bright colours. Young Painted Storks make a harsh grating sound and kneel down with their beaks open while pleading for food from their parents, like in this photo.
