In the aftermath of the flood in Erzincan's Üzümlü district, road cleaning was conducted using construction machinery. During these operations, three "bee-eater" birds stuck in the mud were found. A citizen who noticed that the birds couldn't fly entered the mud to rescue them, washed them one by one, and cleaned them.
The bee-eater bird, which is endangered, is listed as "Least Concern" on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List.
