A heartening scene unfolded as five Oriental stork chicks, a species under the first-class national protection, practiced flying on top of a transmission tower in Rugao City, east China's Jiangsu Province. Their parents had previously nested in the area and successfully raised five healthy chicks, all of which are now fully grown. The Oriental stork is a migratory bird that can live for more than 48 years.
