Milky Stork Mycteria cinerea
Endangered
Locations: Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia (Sumatra, Java)
The Milky Stork is a striking wading bird native to Southeast Asia’s coastal mangroves and wetlands. Recognisable by their predominantly white plumage and contrasting black flight feathers, they play a vital role in their ecosystem by controlling fish and insect populations. Unfortunately, habitat destruction for palm oil and timber, pollution, and the illegal wildlife trade have led to significant population declines. To protect the Milky Stork use your wallet as a weapon to fight for their survival each time you shop. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife

IUCN Red List
Appearance and Behaviour
Milky Storks are medium-sized birds, standing approximately 91–97 cm tall. Their plumage is predominantly white, with black flight feathers and tail that exhibit a greenish gloss. During the breeding season, their white feathers may take on a pale creamy-yellow tint, giving them their “milky” appearance. They have a long, yellow bill and bare facial skin that varies in colour from greyish to deep wine-red during breeding. These storks are social birds, often found in flocks, and are known for their graceful foraging behaviour in shallow waters, where they use their sensitive bills to detect and catch prey.
Geographic Range
The Milky Stork is native to parts of Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia, particularly Sumatra and Java. They inhabit coastal mangroves, estuaries, mudflats, and freshwater wetlands. However, their range has become increasingly fragmented due to habitat loss and human activities.
Diet
Primarily carnivorous, Milky Storks feed on a variety of aquatic prey, including fish, crustaceans, insects, and amphibians. They forage by wading through shallow waters, using their long bills to probe the mud and water for food. Their feeding habits help control populations of their prey, maintaining ecological balance in their habitats.
Reproduction and Mating
Milky Storks breed in colonies, often alongside other waterbird species. Nesting sites are typically located in tall trees within mangrove forests or on coastal islands. A recent study reported the rediscovery of a breeding colony in South Sumatra, Indonesia, highlighting the importance of preserving these critical habitats. The breeding season varies by region but generally coincides with the dry season. Females lay 2–3 eggs, which are incubated by both parents. Chicks fledge approximately two months after hatching.
Threats
The Milky Stork is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, with an estimated population of around 1,500 mature individuals. Conservation efforts include habitat protection, restoration of mangroves, anti-poaching measures, and captive breeding programmes aimed at bolstering wild populations. Public awareness and community engagement are also crucial in mitigating threats and promoting coexistence.
IUCN Status: Endangered
- Habitat Loss: Destruction of mangroves and wetlands for palm oil agriculture, fishing aquaculture, and urban development has led to significant declines in suitable habitats for this stork.
- Pollution: Industrial and agricultural pollutants contaminate waterways, affecting the health and reproductive success of Milky Storks.
- Illegal Wildlife Trade: On occasion these birds are collected for the pet trade or local consumption, further reducing wild populations.
- Species Hybridisation: Interbreeding with the Painted Stork (Mycteria leucocephala) poses a genetic threat to the species’ population.
Take Action!
Protect the Milky Stork by boycotting products linked to deforestation, such as palm oil. Use your wallet as a weapon to support ethical and eco-friendly choices. Share their story and fight for their survival with #BoycottPalmOil and #Boycott4Wildlife.

6 mois
Avec une journée de retard because vacances, je fête mes 6 mois sans #alcool.
Pas de tentation sur mon lieu de vacances, ils ne savent pas faire la bière, ni le vin, ni les spiritueux. Je ne risque pas de ramener de boisson locale dans mes valises. Même madame préfère s’abstenir.
Prochaine étape et gros bilan dans six mois pour les un an.
Jusqu’ici, tout va bien. -
Sport et #alcool
Pendant la période #alcoolique le cycle sport/alcool était à peu près le suivant :
- je me remets au sport après une blessure
- comme j'ai bien transpiré, je mérite bien une bière (enfin plusieurs)
- je progresse et j'augmente le volume d'entrainement
- ma consommation d'alcool ne diminue pas, la récupération devient difficile
- parfois je vais courir avec la gueule de bois
- fatalement, plus d'efforts et mauvaise récupération, je me blesse
- j'arrête le sport mais pas l'alcool qui augmente même
- je me remets au sport après une blessure
Depuis que je ne bois plus, je ne me suis pas blessé, rien de scientifique, juste un constat. -
Étape
Aujourd’hui c’est le 5eme mois sans #alcool
Petit bilan :
- Je dors comme une souche. Cela ne n’avait pas frappé les premières semaines, je me réveillais encore fatigué. Mais je dors de plus en plus profondément et je suis moins fatigué le matin
- Je progresse en sport. 3 sorties par semaine de running, sans blessure so far. Je perds du poids, moins qu’au début mais régulièrement
- Je n’ai presque jamais envie de me jeter sur une bouteille, de manière surprenante. Je m’attendais à plus de manque
- J’ai encore parfois des gros coups de blues, mais moins souvent et moins longtemps. Mais je ne crie pas victoire encore.
Dans un mois, bilan des 6 mois -
