A wonderful and touching story: this bird does not leave the man who saved his life after 37 years

This man has a great friendship with the swan, which he saved 37 years ago.

This man has a very strange story, because his unusual friendship with the swan he saved has been going on for 37 years.

It all happened when the man was traveling with his friends. Recep found the injured bird and left it overnight in his car to protect it from predators.

The bird recovered and began to spend all her time with her savior. It was obvious that it would be impossible to return the swan to the wild.

Later, the swan received the name Garip, which is translated from Turkish as “strange.” Indeed, Garip’s behavior cannot be called ordinary. As a rule, swans avoid human contact, but this bird has become a big exception.

Surprisingly, the swan found a common language with other domestic animals. Garip could hardly live in the wild for more than 12 years, but this year she turned 37 years old.
