A stork demonstrates to the world that humans still have a lot to learn from animals in this astonishing demonstration of devotion and compassion.
This dedicated bird has been traveling over 5,000 kilometers every spring for the past 20 years in order to reconcile with his crippled lifetime companion because of his love for him. The bird Klepetan, with his tremendous devotion, reveals to everyone that love is the most powerful force on the planet!
It all began in 1993, when Klepetan’s companion, Malena, was injured when she was struck by a hunter. Stjepan Vokin, a schoolteacher from Slavonsky Brod, a tiny Croatian hamlet, discovered the bird resting in the dirt.
The good-hearted man repaired its wing and looked after her. He even constructed a nest for her on his roof.
It had been there since Klepetan first saw her 20 years ago. Since then, the couple’s extraordinary love tale has perplexed the globe.
While Klepetan spends the winters in South Africa, his soulmate is enjoying the warm of her caretaker home.
As the teacher explained, the bird is already part of the family. But since 2001, locals – and recently a massive online community – wait with excitement the early of March, for Klepetan’s return. And for nearly two decades now, the loyal stork has never failed them.
Every season, the couple raises chicks together, and when they’ve raised them, the male teaches them to fly before taking them to South Africa for the winter.
The villagers are ecstatic about their renowned lovebird, and they’re eagerly looking forward to Klepetan’s return in early March. So far, the oldest live stork has been reported at 39 years old. Locals, on the other hand, are hopeful that this particular friendship will last much longer.
