\"\"<\/a>
\nEvery year the Painted Storks arrive in large numbers at Veerapuram, a\u00a0small village on the border of Andhra Pradesh. This year they arrived\u00a0one month later than usual and their number is estimated\u00a0 3000. They\u00a0occupy every tree in the little village and build their nests.\u00a0The painted Stork is a protected bird by the government of India and\u00a0protection it needs.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Survival becomes more and more difficult as the birds face many difficulties.\u00a0By nature, when the autumn storms come , many young chicks fall from\u00a0the nests. Many die but the ones that survive need to be rescued, fed\u00a0and nursed as they cannot go back to the nest.\u00a0The summer drought causes the lakes in the surrounding area’s to dry\u00a0up and the adult birds find it difficult to find food for the young\u00a0ones. They have to fly far away and sometimes don’t come back.
\nTheir difficulties caused by humans are even more serious. The birds are shot down for food at the Karnataka border, they don’t\u00a0return to the nest and their young starve to death.\u00a0The fishermen chase away the birds, they dont allow them to fish; a\u00a0conflict of interest!<\/p>\n

To support the Painted Storks in their effort to survive, Karuna\u00a0Society builds a nursery every year in the village, appoints one\u00a0attendant to nurse and feed the birds and buy fish in large\u00a0quantities. Wounded birds have to be brought to the Karuna Wildlife\u00a0Center in Puttaparthi for treatment and by the end of the season\u00a0hundreds of birds have to be fed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
