Storks can not find enough food to raise their young. Another huge problem are overhead electric cables. Only 10% of young storks survive their first migration into the south.

The resettlement of storks is the reason that, nowadays, there are storks in Baden-Wuerttemberg. Here, at Affenberg Salem a free-flying colony of white storks was established by reintroducing some breeding pairs. Although, these breeding pairs were kept from flying south and, thus, have lost their instinct to fly southwards during the winter months, their young spend their winters in Africa or southern Spain. This is genetically determined. All young storks raised at Affenberg Salem migrate to the south during winter.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-krqfltn0-16d0a406000425a343ae800672bfc761'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-2' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-2' class='toggler  av-title-above av-inherit-border-color'  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-2' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Increase breeding success\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Increase breeding success\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Increase breeding success\">Increase breeding success<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-2' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-2' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color av-inherit-border-color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-13375 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.affenberg-salem.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Storchenhorste-am-Affenberg-Salem-e1579790755901-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.affenberg-salem.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Storchenhorste-am-Affenberg-Salem-e1579790755901-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.affenberg-salem.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Storchenhorste-am-Affenberg-Salem-e1579790755901-1030x773.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.affenberg-salem.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Storchenhorste-am-Affenberg-Salem-e1579790755901-705x529.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.affenberg-salem.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Storchenhorste-am-Affenberg-Salem-e1579790755901.jpg 1218w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In many areas, storks still suffer from a lack of food and need a lot of effort to raise one or two young. However, this is not enough for a self-sustaining stork population. This is why we provide food for our storks. Because of this, usually, three to four juvenile storks per pair can be raised. The higher breeding success also compensates for unnaturally high losses of young storks when migrating south.<\/p>\n<p>By the way: A pair of storks with four adolescent young have to provide 4kg \u2013 5kg food every day.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/journals.plos.org\/plosone\/article?id=10.1371\/journal.pone.0104276#pone-0104276-g004\">Read the scientific study on the beneficial effect of feeding storks at Affenberg Salem.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-ksejozxg-b163547198746f9112952128af08b8ad'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-3' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-3' class='toggler  av-title-above av-inherit-border-color'  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-3' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Ringing \u2013 the personal ID of storks\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Ringing \u2013 the personal ID of storks\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Ringing \u2013 the personal ID of storks\">Ringing \u2013 the personal ID of storks<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-3' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-3' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color av-inherit-border-color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-13374 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.affenberg-salem.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Storchenberingung-am-Affenerg-Salem-6-2018-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.affenberg-salem.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Storchenberingung-am-Affenerg-Salem-6-2018-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.affenberg-salem.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Storchenberingung-am-Affenerg-Salem-6-2018-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.affenberg-salem.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Storchenberingung-am-Affenerg-Salem-6-2018-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.affenberg-salem.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Storchenberingung-am-Affenerg-Salem-6-2018-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.affenberg-salem.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Storchenberingung-am-Affenerg-Salem-6-2018-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.affenberg-salem.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Storchenberingung-am-Affenerg-Salem-6-2018-800x599.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.affenberg-salem.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Storchenberingung-am-Affenerg-Salem-6-2018.jpg 1193w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At the age of four to six weeks, we ring all young storks at Affenberg and surrounding areas.

Food supply for storks can be increased by expanding grassland. With the project of the Heinz Sielmann Foundation \u201cBiotopverbund Bodensee\u201d, a network of biotopes was created in the region and habitat for storks and many other endangered species has been improved. The creation of a large pond at Affenberg Salem, as well as the extensive management of meadow areas in the fallow deer enclosure, improves the food supply for storks breeding here.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-qpu2jw-76973c593d4968a27e2a4d9146265227\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-qpu2jw-76973c593d4968a27e2a4d9146265227{\nheight:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-qpu2jw-76973c593d4968a27e2a4d9146265227 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_toggle_container  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-k5z71mhl-cdb551fee2d511d3c0d125570ed85900 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_font_icon-5c8e73f582a62f4d817a85979572676d\">\n.av_font_icon.av-av_font_icon-5c8e73f582a62f4d817a85979572676d{\ncolor:#83a846;\nborder-color:#83a846;\n}\n.avia-svg-icon.av-av_font_icon-5c8e73f582a62f4d817a85979572676d svg:first-child{\nstroke:#83a846;\nfill:#83a846;\n}\n.av_font_icon.av-av_font_icon-5c8e73f582a62f4d817a85979572676d .av-icon-char{\nfont-size:20px;\nline-height:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<span  class='av_font_icon av-av_font_icon-5c8e73f582a62f4d817a85979572676d avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-right avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue875' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/span><\/span>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_font_icon-5c8e73f582a62f4d817a85979572676d\">\n.av_font_icon.av-av_font_icon-5c8e73f582a62f4d817a85979572676d{\ncolor:#83a846;\nborder-color:#83a846;\n}\n.avia-svg-icon.av-av_font_icon-5c8e73f582a62f4d817a85979572676d svg:first-child{\nstroke:#83a846;\nfill:#83a846;\n}\n.av_font_icon.av-av_font_icon-5c8e73f582a62f4d817a85979572676d .av-icon-char{\nfont-size:20px;\nline-height:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<span  class='av_font_icon av-av_font_icon-5c8e73f582a62f4d817a85979572676d avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-right avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue875' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/span><\/span>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_font_icon-5c8e73f582a62f4d817a85979572676d\">\n.av_font_icon.av-av_font_icon-5c8e73f582a62f4d817a85979572676d{\ncolor:#83a846;\nborder-color:#83a846;\n}\n.avia-svg-icon.av-av_font_icon-5c8e73f582a62f4d817a85979572676d svg:first-child{\nstroke:#83a846;\nfill:#83a846;\n}\n.av_font_icon.av-av_font_icon-5c8e73f582a62f4d817a85979572676d .av-icon-char{\nfont-size:20px;\nline-height:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<span  class='av_font_icon av-av_font_icon-5c8e73f582a62f4d817a85979572676d avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-right avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue875' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><u style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.affenberg-salem.de\/en\/research\">Research<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_1'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-16108'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-16108","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.affenberg-salem.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.affenberg-salem.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.affenberg-salem.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.affenberg-salem.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.affenberg-salem.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16108"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.affenberg-salem.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16108\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.affenberg-salem.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
