Oriental storks, a bird species under first-class state protection in China, seem to have a particular fondness for building their homes on electricity pylons. Each year, about 15 pairs of oriental storks do so in Gaoyou, a water-rich county in northern Yangzhou. To make the iron towers safer and more habitable for these birds, State Grid technicians have installed man-made nests on the pylons for them.
