During the recent heavy rain and flooding in southern Germany, a large number of stork chicks lost their lives. However, in one nest, there is a heartwarming story of hope. A craftsman and his wife have managed to save the babies, much to the joy of the parents who are now happily clattering in their nest.
Three years ago, Erwin F. put up a mast with a stork’s nest behind his house, and a pair of storks promptly made it their home. This year, the couple witnessed three chicks in the nest, but unfortunately, only two survived the harsh weather conditions of continuous rain and cold.
As the flood disaster unfolded, Erwin F. realized that the stork chicks would not survive the storm. With the help of a colleague and a forklift, they managed to safely rescue the chicks and bring them to safety. Before the operation, they sought advice from an expert at the stork rescue center to ensure they were handling the situation correctly.
After rescuing the stork babies, Erwin F.’s wife lovingly nursed them back to health by feeding them herrings and keeping them warm. After four days, Erwin F.’s wife returned them to their nest where they are now being cared for by their grateful parents as if nothing had ever happened.
Despite potential legal implications for rescuing stork chicks without permission, Erwin F.’s dedication and efforts have resulted in a heartwarming story of compassion and resilience amidst nature’s challenges.
