Storks in Poland are an old custom and very important. My Dad, born in Poland and lived there until he was 25 years old said there were two sacred laws. The first was that they are NEVER to walk through the cucumber patch and the second was to enjoy watching the storks and realizing that they bring good luck......but do not touch or in any way throw things at the nest or the storks. So it is important, I think of my Dad every stork season time and can't figure out how he or his brothers could possibly throw anything at the nest. Every culture has its own customs and for me it is an important one.

Thanks for the insight Sophie. Where did they build their nests? Also, why shouldn't you walk through the cucumber patch?
