Cyprus Transports Stranded, Fatigued Pelicans to Greece by Airplane

An extraordinary and beautiful story of humans helping animals took place recently in the air between Cyprus and Greece.

Two young rosy pelicans which had failed to complete their migration and became “stranded” on the island nation of Cyprus were transported by plane to Greece’s Kerkini Lake a few days ago.

The birds, who were accompanied on their flight by two representatives of the Fauna Department of the Interior Ministry of Cyprus, were released near the pelicans’ longtime resting spot, the islet of Lithotopos, in Kerkini.
