In France, the fire brigade has now freed a stork from a drink can. The animal was stuck in the can with its beak and was therefore unable to eat or drink.
He had to stay in this predicament for more than two weeks. A farmer first discovered it with the can. He wanted to help the animal, but it flew away again. The farmer was able to snap another photo, and many people in France expressed concern about the stork on social media. The beverage company Coca-Cola, where the can comes from, was also asked to help the bird.
On Tuesday, schoolchildren in Burgundy near the town of Tournus finally discovered the animal. This location is about 200 kilometers from where the stork was first sighted with its beak in a can. The fire brigade then came with a drone to locate the bird and caught it with a net.

The can was then pulled from the weakened animal’s beak, rendering it unable to eat or drink. He spent the night at the fire department rescue center and was to be taken to a bird sanctuary. The head of the French Bird Protection (LPO), Matthieu Orphelin, was pleased with the successful rescue operation and spoke of very good news.
