Chicken birth black stork (Ciconia nigra), weighing over one kilogram acute. A month before birth, the technicians had detected the existence of two eggs in the nest occupied by the couple, but ultimately only one was successful.

The pair of black storks came in 1998 at Jerez  Zoo botanical from the Prague Zoo, where he was born in captivity this year.

Biologists observed several years ago that the male brought material to some of the platforms which had settled to nest, so insistent courting his female, which did not respond to their needs until this spring, something that did not surprise experts because this species reproduces with difficulty in captivity, the median age to start playing at 9 years.

The black stork is actually subject to a captive breeding program (ESB), coordinated by the European Association of Zoos and Aquariums (EAZA) involving 63 institutions and in only 10 of them played regularly.

In the Iberian Peninsula is considered an endangered species, with only about four breeding pairs.
