Age really limited to 5-ish years?
Greetings,

For anyone interested, the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS)'s "Wild Metropolis" series, episode 3: "Survivors", about 32:00 - 37:40 has a segment on the Grey Herons that are established in Amsterdam.

In addition to the information already included in your City Life section, they cover the story of a woman who states that she has been feeding a Grey Heron daily for 17 years. Every day, the bird she named "Kiri" comes into her home for a meal. Further, she says when she has ridden her bicycle, Kiri flew along with her (though how often this happened is unclear to me).

 * Brief clip of the Grey Herons feeding at the fish market in Amsterdam at night, highly unusual behavior: https://www.pbs.org/video/amsterdams-herons-find-surprising-ways-live-city-gw3s9w/

In addition to the photograph above chosen to be honored as "Picture of the day" [and WHY isn't it included in this article?], I think that the photo of the flying Grey Heron carrying nesting material is also very beautiful and should likewise be nominated.
