In St. Petersburg, the main fighter with rodents was noticed - a hawk-grouse at lunch

In one of the parks of the Northern capital noticed the main wrestler with pigeons and crows - an adult hawk-grouse. The Red Book predator successfully hunted the birds that filled the city, reducing their livestock. This was told by biologist Pavel Glazkov in his Max-channel “Each creature in a pair”.

According to the biologist, the characteristic striped color, resembling a veal, suggests that the majestic bird is more than three years old. In the natural environment, these birds usually hunt grouse, but in the metropolis they switched to a different diet: pigeons, rodents and crows. Pavel Glazkov also noted that the population of hawks in the city is growing precisely because of the abundance of fodder in the form of sisars.

At the moment, several dozen such individuals live in St. Petersburg, listed in the Red Book.
