An unlikely friendship between a poor fisherman and an impressive hen that first visited his rowboat 13 years in the past has captivated Turkey for years.
The stork — nicknamed Yaren, or “companion,” in Turkish — has returned to Adem Yilmaz’s boat yearly since, after migrating south for the winter. The native information media gleefully documented his arrival final month.
Now, due to a 24-hour webcam arrange by the native authorities, stork lovers in every single place can verify in on Yaren and his associate, Nazli, or “coquette” in Turkish. They preen, contort their necks, clack their beaks, renovate their nest and infrequently mate.
