Landscape and habitat
Andrid is situated in the Carei and Ier-plain. Through agricultural land traverse the two rivers Zimoias and Valea Morii. The storks are hunting in the wet meadows along the rivers, on fields and grassland. The food is very diverse, they feed on insects (grasshoppers, locusts), earthworms, frogs, lizards, mice, rats and snakes.
Storks as marriage brokers
Andrids mayor Tibor Papp reports: “In the last years we invited high-ranking local politicians to our Stork Festival. One of them was the president of the regional council, who was not married and didn`t have children, too. During the stork events he fell in love with a woman and after some months they got married and had a child.”
