🐦 If you see a picture like this on the streets of St. Petersburg, do not be alarmed, this is not a mass death of birds.

🍒 These are waxwings, which simply overeat fermented berries in the spring.

🍹Ornithologists ask citizens not to throw away "drunk" birds. They can be placed on the grass when they "sober up" a little, wake up and fly away.

⚡️ Bear Thief on Kamchatka: Clubfoot Guest Steals Fish from Fishermen!

📰🐻 An unusual incident occurred at one of the fishing bases on Kamchatka. A bear, not at all embarrassed, made its way into the territory of the base and unceremoniously stole the catch from the surprised fishermen. Apparently, he decided that the fishermen had caught too much fish, and it was time to share with someone who knows a lot about good food.

👀 Now the base will be more closely monitoring the catch so that the bear does not return for more. Or maybe they will even leave him some fish as a token of gratitude for such a funny adventure.

📍 Krasnoyarsk is an amazing city located in the heart of Siberia. Its history began in 1628, when a fort was built on the banks of the Yenisei River, which later became a city. Over the years, Krasnoyarsk has become the largest cultural, economic, industrial, and educational center of the region, as well as the unofficial capital of Siberia.

🌊⛰ One of the main attractions of Krasnoyarsk is its unique geographical location. The city is located in a vast valley surrounded by picturesque mountains. Scientists suggest that once there was an ocean on this site, and fossilized algae found in the surrounding rocks serve as proof of this theory.

🏙 Krasnoyarsk is striking in its size - it occupies an area that could accommodate three Florence or Paris, and two Milan.

🥔 It is also worth noting an unusual historical fact: at one time the so-called "potato duty" was introduced in the city. All residents were required to grow potatoes, and those who refused were exiled.

📈 Today, Krasnoyarsk is a modern and dynamically developing city with a rich history and culture. It has everything for a comfortable life and recreation - theaters, museums, parks, shopping centers, and much more. Krasnoyarsk, with its unique architecture, picturesque landscapes, and hospitable residents, will surely leave an unforgettable impression on every guest.
