A cold snap made adjustments to the flight of birds. The first pelican to the zoodefenders of Kemerovo was brought from the Chebulinsky district. Bird strayed from the flock, naked. Zoodefenders asked residents to help with fish, or at least fish money. In a few days, the guest finished eating, cleaned the feathers and began to quarrel with the rescuers..

In the Altai region a flock of young curly pelicans was spotted. Looks like they are repelled from the flocks by gusts of wind. Birds sat on the ice. One pelican died, the rest also could not be saved. They just have nowhere to fish, all the reservoirs freeze. Barnaul volunteers began to catch unlucky travelers who were threatened with death. In just a few hours of torment, only five were caught.. Catching pelicans is not an easy task.. Birds do not let people closer to themselves than five meters. Catch birds. The condition of the birds is observed by experts.. Remaining can be caught only after they weaken and admit to themselves. Some of the birds caught were forced to feed..

And the weather deteriorates, there is no hope for the continuation of the flight. So the birds will have to spend the winter in Altai in the regional public organization of assistance to wild animals "Noah's Ark". Then they will be sent to the center of rare birds of prey "Taigun" near Barnaul. Pelicans from Barnaul will also be brought there.. In the spring they will be released in the reserve "Pelicans". Burlinsky district. There they will be able to return to their native environment and be nailed to a flock of relatives.

In the Altai territory there are routes of flight and nesting of pelicans, flamingos, black storks and swans..

In the meantime, ornithologists are asking the local population to help with a pelican fish.. However, capelin is good.

And in Omsk, teenagers caught four swans on the ice of the lake - the young birds still fly and weakened. Rescuers who arrived at the call could not do anything and left. The locals inflated the boat, but also could not catch the birds. And the guys ran around the lake and caught swans, who never tried to take off.. Rescued birds handed over to veterinarians.
