There is probably no more positive symbol in Polish tradition than the white stork. It heralds the arrival of a new season, the beginning of spring, a period of blessings, warmth, and abundance. After all, it was and sometimes still is associated with bringing children, who were supposedly found in cabbage fields.
The most stork-friendly place in Poland is Żywkowo. A village located in Barcia, right on the border with Russia. In the former Scheweken, and currently Żywkowo, after World War II, the place of German residents was taken by Ukrainian families resettled here as part of the Vistula Action.
