Jabiru stork babies are not very cute.
They’re actually pretty ugly.
But don’t tell the mom that.
She’s almost as tall as us and has a big beak.

In the morning they brought sticks up to fix the nest.

The adults gather sticks on the ground.

And carry big beaks full up to the nest.

And the babies helped arrange them in the nest.

So the babies are pretty clever even if they aren’t pretty.

There are four babies in the nest.

Which makes for a pretty big pile of bird.

The nest is very high up in the air.
But they come back to the same nest every year, so they’ve built a tower up so you can see inside.
Both the tower and the tree are now held up by wires.

The babies are quite big.

And will be able to fly soon.
