Restive and uncooperative: two moose calves were released in Kirov and sent to a farm.

      In spring, volunteers of the "Big Nest" are traditionally overwhelmed with small charges. However, this season, among the usual little birds, there was an unexpected addition: almost the entire second half of May, rescuers spent with two moose calves.

      As the center itself admits, the little ones turned out to have quite a character. Frisky and uncooperative, they flatly refused to take a bottle with milk, tended to butt heads, and at the same time, they would crowd around their caretakers' legs. They also gave the staff "unforgettable moments of tick searching," as they later wrote with irony in the organization's group.

      Nevertheless, they managed. By the time it was time to send the grown moose to a specialized moose farm, the behavior of the little ones had changed dramatically. Both stopped butting heads and finally figured out how to drink milk from a bottle. The older calf even started following the bottle — apparently, he had fully settled in.

      Now, as reported by the organization, everything is fine with the calves at the farm.

      The center notes that in spring and summer, the number of patients always increases, which means that the organization's needs also grow. More details on how to help the animals this season can be found in their official group on VKontakte.
