Not just a cat and a dog: how a titmouse found its home 

Natalya, from the Belgorod region, lives outside the city. But she had no idea who would be moving into her home. 

"It all happened suddenly. About a month ago, we saw him on our property. He couldn't fly, he just hopped around in the snow and into the bird feeder. Frosts and snowfalls were coming, and it was clear he simply wouldn't survive. So we caught him. Roman made him a cardboard house to calm him down and get him back on his feet, and then I bought him a cage. Now he has clean water, sunflower seeds, and canned mealworms every day. And recently, Sinya even started singing. But unfortunately, he won't be able to fly anymore." said Olga, Natalia. 

In the comments, people began sharing their stories of "suddenly" acquiring pets—not only cats and dogs, but also birds. 

"We got a sparrow named Jack, he fell out of his nest. He's already six years old." "We've had a swift for three years! We found him as a baby with broken feathers on his wings and tail." "All my animals are like that. Angelica the magpie has been living with me for ten years and can't fly." "A pigeon just moved in with me from the street." 

Someone has even offered Sinya companionship—a female titmouse, who can't fly anymore either. It seems Sinya has found his home and family.
