Hundreds of "artificial nests" in Zhenbaodao Wetland in Heilongjiang welcome the return of Oriental white storks. The staff of the reserve are building "art artificial nests" for the Oriental white Storks that are about to return in large numbers.
The Oriental White Stork is a nationally protected bird. Because it likes to build nests in treetops, there are few trees suitable for nesting in wetlands and poor branch stability, making it very difficult for the oriental white stork to build a nest.
