Voronezh residents found pika under the windows of high-rise buildings

Residents of Leningradskaya Street in Voronezh found a miniature forest bird under their windows - an ordinary pika. The feathered creature hit the glass and, stunned, sat motionless on the asphalt.

The townspeople did not pass by: they picked up the crumb and handed it over to volunteers of the Heart of the Forest community. Experts carefully examined the patient and came to the conclusion that there were no serious injuries - the bird received only a bruise and experienced stress.

After the pika rested and her health returned to normal, the rescuers returned her to the usual forest conditions.

The common pika is one of the smallest feathered inhabitants of our forests. With a body length of only 12-14 centimeters, it weighs no more than 10 grams, which is comparable to a couple of teaspoons of sugar.
