Stork Cries After Losing Her Nest But What Happens Next Will Restore Your Faith In Humanity

A recent video I stumbled upon warmed my heart up on so many levels, that I just had to share it with you. So buckle up!

Firefighters were called into a small town once the circuit breaker on a transmission line caught on fire. 

To make matters worse, a bird’s nest was located directly next to the faulty circuit breaker, and guess what? The poor bird lost her nest…

The firefighters cleared away the burned nest, unaware that the stork had no idea her home had been destroyed.

Just minutes after they washed down whatever was left from the nest, the stork returned with two sticks in her beak. The poor thing was away trying to find more sticks to make the nest as cozy as possible for her future babies.

She had absolutely no idea her nest and all her efforts to make it cozy were long gone. Once she saw that her nest was gone, she dropped the two sticks from her beak and tilted her head back in heartbreak.

The poor stork was crying out loud, and it left the firefighters completely heartbroken. Feeling sorry for the place the poor bird called home, the kind firefighters decided to help. 

One of them rushed to their station and brought over a circular metal frame. They placed a net underneath and a bunch of sticks inside.

Two of the firefighters brought the frame up to the same place, with the help of a crane. They then securely placed it in the same spot where her previous nest was, all in the hope she would return.

Sure enough, just minutes later she returned together with her partner. The two got inside the nest and made themselves at home, happy to have a place to raise their babies. As one comment put it:

“That stork was devastated. Those men did a great thing for her! BRAVO!”

These amazing and kind-hearted firefighters restored my faith in humanity. Watch the full video down below!
