Reintroduced White Storks (Ciconia ciconia) Have Similar Diets to Their Wild Conspecifics [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
We explored the dietary composition and compared pellet morphology using pellet analysis (n = 23) between two White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) groups to assess reintroduction effectiveness that consisted of released individuals that were free flying (i.e., “wild group”) and those kept within a confined enclosure (“captive group”). We found that 60% of the
