Video about the second day of the celebration of Maslenitsa with Yoll and a meeting with subscribers. There were a lot of people! What fine fellows you are! I hope that you did not regret it :D
I was very pleased to see everyone - to interact, tell stories and show everything to you.
I am answering the most common questions in the comments in the final 9 minutes of the video.
Yoll was not tired or worried. I'm tired, but not frozen, everything is fine.
We chained the forged trinket up, and Yoll appreciated it. I have a post on the page in VK with links to the photo. There are also links in comments. rumtudum?w=wall1968148...
Special thanks for the syringes! The collection was more than successful, and Maria did not expect this. I imagined this would happen, but she would not have believed it anyway. Your attention to the situation is very pleasing and inspiring. Thanks for helping the birds!
And thanks for your feedback! Let's look out for birds, share information with friends, and increase scientific literacy! Let everyone know that an eagle-owl is not an owl’s husband*!

*"An eagle-owl is not an owl’s husband": This confusion stems from how animals are named in Russian. In English, all owl species are named "something-owl" so English speakers don't get confused, but in Russian each owl species has a unique name. For example, eagle-owl is called "filin", and scops owl is "splyushka", while an owl is "sova". Filin is a masculine term and sova is a feminine term. Because of this, some Russian speakers think that a specific genus/species of the owl is different from an owl, leaving various comments on this channel like "Eagle-owl is an owl’s husband" "Is this an owl or an eagle-owl" "This is an eagle-owl, not an owl" along with various derivatives. They became running jokes on this channel.
