How big is a stork's nest?
The nest of a stork is very large. The branch nest usually makes the stork high in a tree, but you'll probably see it right away. It's big, because the stork is also a big bird. The female lays 3-5 eggs, which hatch after about 5 weeks. The youngsters are fed by both parents for more than 8 weeks. Then they fly out and go into the wide world themselves.

You often see storks in the neighborhood where people live. They also like to make their nest on buildings of the people.
In the popularly or from the fantasy stories, it is also the stork that pricks the mother's belly, bringing new happiness/life in the form of a baby. And that is why there is often a wooden stork in the garden when a child is born.
