3 years ago, a wild duck settled in a pond in Ufa’s Mega Mall park. It laid eggs on the bank of the pond and started incubating. This was noticed by the head of the security service, Alexander Merkulov. Based on his drawing, the staff at Mega quickly built a birdhouse, and the bird with its chicks lived there until autumn.
"The duck family left for warmer climes in the autumn, but the next spring the bird came back and the whole thing happened again. We thought it was a fluke, but this year no one doubted it would return," says Alexander Merkulov.
This is how the world around us becomes more welcoming. The mall staff helped set up the area, and the employees of AN-Security ensured its safety and security. Even a duck with chicks will only choose to nest in this area.
