English: The lifestyle of the black stork is not well studied. It is a secret bird. Unlike the white stork, the black stork does not like neighborhood with humans and settles in deaf, old forests, on plains and foothills near water bodies - forest lakes, rivers, swamps. Black stork nests on high trees at a height of 10-20 m. Monogamous species (creates a pair for life). In Ukraine, the number of Black Stork is only 400-450 pairs, so the species is listed in the Red Book of Ukraine as rare.
