Murat Guzel scatters bird feed on the roof as the sun sets over the devastated southern Turkish city of Antakya. Guzel is caring for the birds, mostly pigeons, he keeps above the restaurant at which he used to work before the deadly earthquake on February 6. "The way we would take care of our children, we take care of our birds" says Guzel, "we can't just leave them and go, because this is our homeland".
