In the lecture by ornithologist Yuri Mikhailov, the winter city will become a huge dining hall for birds. Guests will learn which treats are beneficial for sparrows, tits, and bullfinches, and which ones are better to avoid, how to set up a feeder according to all the rules, and how to notice rare feathered neighbors to feel part of the living urban ecosystem. In winter, urban courtyards and parks seem quieter than in summer, but if you listen closely - through the crunch of snow, you can hear the short calls of sparrows, cautious whistles of tits, and the cries of crows. For these birds, winter becomes a test of endurance: the usual insects are absent, seeds are hidden under the snow, and finding food in the stone quarters becomes increasingly difficult. Therefore, a person who adds food to the feeder literally intervenes in their daily lives and can either help or harm. Ornithologist Yuri Mikhailov has gathered scientific knowledge, field observation experience, and urban walking practice with binoculars in one meeting. Together with him, guests will discuss what is safe to feed the feathered inhabitants of the metropolis, and which popular "treats" like black bread or salted fat are better left in the past. The discussion will cover the right seed mixes, unsalted fat, nuts, and other products that truly help birds survive the cold season without compromising their health. A separate block will be dedicated to the visitors of the feeders themselves. The conversation will touch on familiar sparrows and pigeons, but attention will also be given to those species that many do not even attempt to distinguish. Listeners will learn how to tell a tit from a marsh tit, spot a nuthatch or a woodpecker, why rare guests sometimes appear in winter, and how their routes are arranged. The lecturer will explain what can be understood about the state of the urban environment from the composition of feathered neighbors and why observing them turns into an exciting hobby. Another important topic will be the construction of feeders. Yuri Mikhailov will explain where it is best to place the structure, which materials are safe, how often to clean up leftover food, and why it is important to maintain cleanliness.
