95-year-old Belarusian woman becomes a social media star thanks to a stork
A resident of the Brest region unexpectedly became an Instagram star. The pensioner managed to befriend a wild stork. The corresponding video was posted by the woman's great-granddaughter, Yanina, writes Blizko.by.

The girl said that her 95-year-old great-grandmother gave the stork the nickname Malysh (Kid) and he actually responds to it and flies over when he hears the name. The woman feeds him sprats, which she buys frozen from a local store.
The video's author noted that due to the dry weather, there is little food in the swamps now, so it is harder for storks to find prey and feed their chicks. Therefore, supplementary feeding from local residents is especially important during the hot summer. Network users supported the woman:
"This is not like raising chickens."
"My grandmother had a raven; she somehow saved it from dogs and kept it until it recovered. It then flew to her every year."
"If only there were more such sensitive hearts in our world, life would be easier."
"Russians have bears as pets, Belarusians have storks."
