Aircraft deviated from its Southern course and landed in Grodno's heart.
In the heart of Grodno, Belarus, an unexpected guest has made its presence known - a stork. The majestic bird was spotted on Lenin Square, Žilierber Park, and even crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing, causing quite a stir among the city's residents.
The stork's unusual presence in the city raised concerns, as storks typically leave Belarus in August-September to migrate south. Some residents suspected that the stork might have been injured or disoriented, prompting multiple attempts to help the bird. However, helping an injured wild animal in urban conditions can be dangerous for both the animal and people.
Specialists advise reporting injured or disoriented urban wildlife to the MCHS or the police, rather than attempting to help it oneself. In Grodno, the organization responsible for the rescue of the stork was the "Grodno Zoo" (Гродненский зоопарк). Rescuers eventually arrived and took the stork away.
The exact destination of the stork is currently unknown, but videos of the stork quickly spread on TikTok, becoming popular on the social media platform. The stork's behavior was unusual, as it was not showing signs of migrating.
Injured birds in Grodno are usually taken to the zoo for treatment and potential release in spring. If a bird's condition does not allow for release, it will remain at the zoo permanently. The exact condition and reasons for the stork's stay in the city are not specified in the article.
Despite the concerns, the stork was not in a hurry to fly south and was not afraid of people. While the outcome of the stork's rescue remains uncertain, the sighting serves as a reminder of the importance of reporting injured or disoriented urban wildlife to the appropriate authorities.
