Bird man in Turkiye vows to tend to flock after quake
Murat Guzel scatters bird feed on the roof as the sun sets over the Antakya restaurant at which he used to work before the earthquake that destroyed the southern Turkish city.
Birds, mostly pigeons, some motley and scruffy, others pristine and plump, scrabble for the feed as Guzel, 40, calls to them.
“We take care of our birds the way we take care of our children — and will continue to look after them,” he says.
