context: Storks migrate in both August and September from their breeding grounds in Europe, directly heading to the south and Africa. [40] It spends its winters in Africa, passing through Kenya and Uganda to the savanna that reaches South Africa. [50] Where they gather in these areas in the form of flocks consisting of thousands of birds. [20] Some of them can reach West Sudan, Nigeria, and Chad, going straight west. [51] When spring arrives, it returns to its northern residences, and their return was recorded again in February and April to Egypt and Sudan. [52] After a journey that lasts about 49 days, it will return to Europe at the end of March and April. [40] As for the comparison of the autumn trip with the spring, we find that the autumn trip lasts 26 days. This is due to the lack of food that is eaten and the speed of the wind that comes from behind it, which increases the rate of its flight speed, especially in the places where it is not able to get prey for it. [53] Likewise, when storks migrate from Europe, they take two other paths other than the White Sea, in order to avoid passing a long distance from the sea. Therefore, either you take the road directly from the Nile through the Great Desert on Levent and through the Bosphorus in Turkey or take the western migration route through the Strait of Mount Tariq. [54] As these migration paths make it use less energy because of the presence of air current. [55] [56] However, the eastern migration route is much more important than the western migration route, as it is used by 530,000 storks annually, and storks are considered the second most important species after falcons as users of this road. Where the swans of white pelicans, storks and other prey birds that migrate can reach a height of 200 km. [57] Although the eastern migration path is twice the distance of the western route, storks can arrive in the same period in both directions in winter. [58] Small storks begin to go out to the path of migration for the first time by flying genetically heading directly to the north, but they will not be able to avoid changes due to weather conditions, forcing them to return to their barracks a second time. Unlike adult birds that can protect themselves from the powerful wind pilot and gain access to their nature barracks. For the same reasons, all birds migrate in the spring and then return to their barracks at the same time. [59] It was noticed that the young storks who were raised under captivity in Kaliningrad managed to fly through the natural instinct of aviation in it that results from experiments without the help of large birds in the wild who can show them the way and provide them with food. [60]
