When harvest mice nests got featured in the last video with Silva, it was an accidental/coincidental spoiler, as just two days later we went to get materials for the winter for harvest mice living at the Moscow Zoo. The only way to see them is from outside, through the glass on the outer side of the wall of the zoo's old territory, if you down Bolshaya Gruzinskaya Street towards the Belorussky Station. All of this goodness is for those mice.

"Nika, in TV interviews you've said that you took Yolka for work at the Domodedovo airport. Why didn't it work out? Was the bird's personality or temper not suited for the job, or did Silva just come along and take the position? Or perhaps there were some other factors?
New answer:
It did work out. Yoll just doesn't need to live there permanently. Here "services" are rarely needed, e.g. when a flock of jays needs to be chased away from under the roof of a hangar where they like to rest.
And Silva came along 2 years before Yolka.
Plus, Yolka doesn't even need to chase birds. Her presence alone is enough, especially at night, as birds know that hawks don't hunt at night, and hawks know it themselves, so... they don't hunt. But the presence of an owl that could catch a cat, let alone a jay, terrifies birds.
