Fight for the best perch - Asian Open-bill Stork

1 Attachment(s)

This is one of the old images, captured in Nov-11. The moment was captured when one Asian Open-bill stork was trying to displace other off the perch.

It was observed that stork with darker color base of the beak always had the upper hand. Also it appeared to me that the stork with darker base of the beak would probably be older than the others.
