Three storks that landed on an electricity pole in Mersin died.

THE STORKS' FINAL MOMENTS ON CAMERA

The incident occurred in the Resul village of the Toroslar district. According to the information obtained, 5 storks landed on top of the electricity pole. After a while, some of the storks on the pole were electrocuted. In the images reflected on cameras, it is seen that 3 of the 5 storks on the pole died as a result of the electric current, and the moments when one of the storks was electrocuted and fell to the ground were also captured.

According to experts' assessments, due to their wide wingspans, storks touching two different wires on the electricity pole at the same time can cause a short circuit. This situation can cause birds to be electrocuted due to high voltage and lose their lives.
