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.
ANTAKYA, Turkey –
“We take care of our birds the way we take care of our children — and will continue to look after them,” he says. Two large white and brown birds nestle in a dovecote made of wire mesh and wood, while more than 20 others perch on a ledge in anticipation of food. Guzel has three children aged nine, 15 and 17 — the youngest of whom, Eren, has inherited his father’s interest in birds.“Every morning we come to our birds and feed them attend to their food, feathers and illnesses,” he said.
Pigeon keeping is a popular hobby in southeastern Turkey, particularly among the Kurdish community, and pigeon droppings are often used as fertiliser for watermelons.
