Painted Stork

The park was officially opened on 1 November 1959, but sometime in the same year, possibly in September, a small group of wild Painted Storks happened to fly around the zoo. They might have been scouting for a safe place to nest.

The National Zoological Park in Delhi is home to many species of birds and animals. The harsh Delhi winter is hard for the inhabitants of the zoo. The caretakers here make every effort to make things comfortable for the animals so they can survive the cold temperatures. Here's a look at what they do to make this possible.
