As a result, the entire lawn in front of the office building on Bazhov in Yekaterinburg was littered with corpses of birds. At lunchtime waxwings crashed into the window of an office building one by one on second floor. The woman and her colleagues were seriously scared. Birds women tried to reanimate, hoped that they would come to their senses, warming up in the hands. But most of the waxwings fell to the ground dead. Of the 20 birds, only two survived the impact on glass. Eyewitnesses call it “feathered mass suicide.”

Several bird bodies were taken for examination. Ornithologist Sergey Sichkin says this is an accident. Not characteristic of birds to settle accounts with life. Waxwings fly in a group after their leader, apparently he led them to certain death. The flock turned out to be wrong time, and in the wrong place. So mass death of birds in urban the jungle ornithologist does not remember. The birds have long been accustomed to urban environment and learned to fly around the windows side. Most often with confuse those that are coated with a film with a mirror effect. Before their installation experts advise to think carefully about bird lives.
