Example text
If attacked by another animal, their long, pointed bills are powerful weapons. They use them to stab or bite an enemy. A more serious threat to the survival of these birds is their long yearly flights to and from their winter homes. If they cannot find suitable resting places along the migratory route, the birds risk dying of exhaustion, hunger, or attacks by predators. Even with enough places to rest, however, the long flights are extremely tiring. The birds’ large wings make the flight easier.
A more serious threat to the survival of these birds is their long yearly flights to and from their winter homes. If they cannot find suitable resting places along the migratory route, the birds risk dying of exhaustion, hunger, or attacks by predators. Even with enough places to rest, however, the long flights are extremely tiring. The birds’ large wings make the flight easier. Stork and cranes have also learned how to conserve their energy over these long distances. A large, strong bill help storks and cranes protect themselves against predators.
White storks traveling from western Europe to Africa rest at special stopping places, called staging areas, in countries such as Spain, Hungary, Turkey, Israel, and Egypt. People in these countries recognize the importance of the stopping places and have worked to preserve these natural spots for the birds. If the staging areas were destroyed by human development, the birds would have fewer places to rest and to eat. But this is just one threat that storks and cranes face today. People have created most of these threats, and people are the only ones who can end them.
