As the world eagerly watches the restoration of Paris's iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral after the devastating 2019 fire, a surprising hero has emerged: the jay bird
The restoration team has credited this little bird with playing a crucial role in saving the structure's unique spire during the fire.
While firefighters worked to control the blaze, it was the swift action of a jay bird that helped prevent the fire from spreading further into the cathedral.
The bird, which was observed near the spire shortly before the fire broke out, is believed to have startled the fire-watch team by swooping dangerously close to the cathedral's wooden beams.
This unusual behavior drew attention to a small, overlooked spark, which could have escalated into a major disaster if left unnoticed.
This strange twist of fate has led some to consider the jay bird a symbol of hope and vigilance, embodying the spirit of the restoration effort.
As Notre-Dame prepares for its grand reopening, the bird’s role in saving the cathedral remains a fascinating and heartwarming part of its recovery story.
