- Madis, kā stārķi pie tevis nokļuva?
- Šie stārķi ir no zināmas melno stārķu ligzdas ar kameru un lielu skatītāju loku. Pagājušajā nedēļā tur notika traģiski notikumi, kur tēviņš vairs neatgriezās ligzdā, arī stārķu māte sāka pamest ligzdu un uz nakti neatgriezties ligzdā, lai sildītu cāļus. Šajā laikā notikuši arī divi nāves gadījumi. Tā kā Igaunijā šim putnam klājas ļoti slikti, pēdējos gados ar aptuveni 20 apdzīvotām ligzdām, kurās tikai pusē ligzdu ir cāļi, tēviņam ir milzīga loma cāļu izaudzināšanā un ligzdošanas panākumos.
Mums bija divi slikti varianti, ļaut dabai iet savu gaitu vai vismaz dot iespēju īpaši apdraudētajiem putniem, jo šajā sugā katrs indivīds ir svarīgs.
- Kā izskatās ikdienas aprūpe?
- Par laimi, vecāki jau ir paveikuši grūtāko daļu - inkubāciju un mazuļu agrīno stadiju. Grūtākais mums ir pārāk nepieķerties šiem mazajiem radījumiem un nelikt viņiem domāt, ka cilvēks viņiem ir barības avots. Mūsu galvenais pienākums ir ar dažādiem mānekļiem un līdzekļiem likt, lai viņi joprojām domātu, ka tas ir vecāks, kurš nāk viņus pabarot. Cik labi tas darbosies, mēs vēl nezinām.
Trešais, mazākais cālītis, ir sarežģītākā situācijā - tam bija hipotermija, un mums bija jāveic dažas procedūras, lai uzlabotu gremošanu. Bieži vien ir nepieciešama atsevišķa barošana. Bet kopumā cenšamies cilvēkus tik daudz neizrādīt un paturēt izolētā vidē.
- Madis, kad viņus vedīs atpakaļ dabā?
- Jā, mums ir plāns, ka no brīža, kad viņi spēs tikt galā ar āra apstākļiem, kad nakts temperatūra nebūs tik zema, nogādāt viņus uz aizvietotāju ligzdu, kur viņi var pierast pie dabas apstākļiem un meža ainavas. Viņi sāks migrāciju no turienes.
Melnā stārķa migrācijas ceļš nav viegls un tajā ir daudz briesmu un nepatikšanu, taču ceram, ka spēsim viņus atturēt no cilvēkiem un pēc dažiem gadiem tie varēs atgriezties ligzdošanas zonā.

- Madis, how did the storklets get to you?
- These storklets are from a known black stork nest with a camera and a large viewership. Last week some tragic events happened there, where the male bird didn't return to the nest anymore, also the mother stork started to leave the nest and not return to the nest for the night to warm the chicks. Also two deaths happened during that period. Since this bird is doing very badly in Estonia, in recent years with about 20 inhabited nests, in which only half the nests have chicks in them, the male bird plays a huge role in raising the chicks and the nesting success.
We had two bad options, to let the nature take its course, or to at least give the chance to the highly endangered birds, because in this species, every individual counts.
- How does the daily care look like?
- Luckily, the parents have already done the hardest part- incubating and the very early stage of the chicks. The hardest part for us is to not get too attached to these little creatures and make them think that human is a source of food for them. Our main duty is to cover the food table for them with different decoys and means so that they still think it's the parent who comes to feed them. How well will it work, we don't know yet.
The third, smallest chick, is in a more difficult situation. It was hypothermia when it arrived and we had to help it with some treatments to improve its digestion. It often needs separate feeding. But in general we try not to show human that much and leave them in an isolated environment.
- Madis, when will they be taken back to the nature?
- Yes, we have a plan that from the moment when they are able to cope with the outside conditions, when night temperatures are not so low, to take them to a substitute nest where they can become used to the natural conditions and the forest scenery. They will start migration from there.
The migration path of a black stork is not easy and there are many dangers and troubles, but we hope that we can keep them away from humans and that they can come back to the nesting area in a few years.
