Tayto Park needs public's help in naming adorable baby storks

Tayto Park has welcomed three adorable baby storks this week.

First pics show the cute chicks growing and finding their strength before they’re ready to take flight with their older siblings. But before they take to the skies, Ireland's only theme park and zoo is asking the public for name suggestions.

All you need to do is 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 a family pass to the park. You'll have to act fast as the competition ends on Monday, July 11.

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.

These majestic chicks will eventually join the World of Raptors display alongside some of the world’s most magnificent birds. White storks are migratory birds, which means they will spend portions of the year in Europe while the weather is warm and food is available, they then fly to Africa and spend several months throughout the winter breeding season.
