In order to protect the chicks and complete construction, Luo Peng, Wang and members of the volunteer team contacted local forestry experts and, after several rounds of discussion, figured out protective measures.

They first adjusted the construction sequence, making the tower with the nesting chicks the last one to be worked on, giving the young birds over 20 days to grow safely.

Then on July 11, under the guidance and supervision of local experts, Luo led his workers to complete the installation work on the tower while trying hard to minimize disturbance to the young birds' growth.

"Staying nearly 60 meters above the ground, we completed the installation under the young birds' eyes," Luo said. "They continued their growth on the tower after the installation. It was truly a comforting sight."

Wang said all the chicks successfully later left the nest. To encourage Oriental white storks to settle on safer locations on electricity towers, Wang and his teammates also built 10 artificial nests on some towers in Gaoyou last year.
