How cute are they?

The World of Raptors at Tayto Park welcomed three baby storks this week and they are so adorable.

Both mum and chicks are healthy and are settling into their new home but Tayto Park still need to name the new arrivals and they’re looking to the general public for suggestions.

 

Storks are born featherless but these chicks are set to grow rapidly over the next few months as they settle into their new home, developing their distinct crisp white and black plumage as well as long slender red legs.

When mature they will take flight with an impressive wingspan of 2 metres!

However before these chicks can soar the skies, Tayto Park is looking for help to name the three new additions!

To be in with a chance to win a family pass to Tayto Park, the World of Raptors team are encouraging boys and girls – young and old to head over to the official Tayto Park Facebook or Instagram page and comment with your suggested names under the storks imagery social post to be in with a chance to win.

Tayto Park will contact a winner directly, competition closes Monday July 11th .

Speaking with u today about the exciting new arrival, Park and Zoo Manager at Tayto Park Lee Donohoe said:

“What an exciting week at Tayto Park to be welcoming three chicks to our already thrilling World of Raptors display.”

Visitors to Tayto Park will be able to see the new baby storks, as well as eagle, hawks owls and much more take to the skies at the World Of Raptors at 1pm 2:30pm and 4pm each day until the end of summer!
