Swans at the Pontoon Crossing

At the pontoon crossing between Odessa and Chornomorsk, there is a true feathered celebration. Numerous flocks of white swans and black ducks have stopped here to take a break. Every year, migratory birds choose this spot for wintering or transit, delighting the local residents with their beauty.

Joining the swans are seagulls, cormorants, and even pigeons, sparrows, and dogs are trying to attract people's attention along the shore.

Feeding the Swans

However, feeding these birds comes with certain risks. As zoologists warn, bread, which is often given to birds, can be harmful to them. It may cause severe fermentation processes in their gastrointestinal tract. It’s best to feed birds with boiled grains or special feed.

Swans at the Sukhyi Lyman provide people with a true winter wonder every year. The key is to treat nature with care and follow the rules to ensure a comfortable existence for our feathered neighbors.

As a reminder, in the Odessa region, a dog fell into a deep pit. We also reported that near the Antarctic station "Akademik Vernadsky," about a thousand little penguins were born, with academics sharing adorable footage.
