Reproductive cycle of wood storks "is activated when the wells dry enough to keep the fish in sufficient numbers to focus an efficient feeding chicks. competition for food is fierce, and when food is scarce, survive only girl. weeks chicks fed 15 times per day, and growing. During the breeding season, need wood storks more than 400 pounds (180 kg) of fish to feed themselves and their young. If youth are 4 weeks old, the parents leave the nest in search of food, and this is continued until the chicks leave "farm" or the nest. A colony is considered successful when their parents developed an average of at least 1.5 young per nest
