I wouldn’t trust this article. How can only be 1 pair of storks in Belgium, while 5000 pairs in Hungary? I think the article needs better peer review before I accept the fact that storks deliver babies.
I'm happy to inform you that nowadays the storks in Belgium are sort of returning. There's two successful breeding programs happening: one in "Het Zwin" and one in "Planckendael". It is sadly true that the stork used to be quasi-extinct over here. Outside of these breeding programmes I've never seen one around.
Wow, that's crazy. I lived in Hungary and I saw them in every village all my life, they are always so cute, I'm glad they are back, hopefully there will be more babies born as well :)
You're right, the only thing we can logically conclude from this study is that the number of storks known to humans correlates with birth rates, leading to the obvious conclusion that countries which are better at finding storks are also better at having procreative sex, probably due to the close similarity between the two behaviors.

Being a bird watcher is a prophylactic?
Also, the argument that the Covid vaccines are safe and free of tracker chips is completely lacking.
At least we can all agree that it doesn't convincingly argue that horse dewormer is dangerous.
Calling a medicine that got the Nobel Prize for helping cure parasite dseases in Africa "a horse dewormer" is kinda racist.
