The pelicans of Kyiv Zoo have moved to a warm winter house equipped with a swimming pool and special lamps, where they will be fed up to 2 kg of fish daily.

With the first snow, the pelicans in the Kyiv Zoo moved to a warm winter house located between the lakes behind the Central Entrance, UNN reports with reference to the Kyiv City State Administration.

"This is a very difficult and responsible event - to agree with every respectable bird to move to the pelican estate. From now on, the whole fussy family of 16 pink and 4 Dalmatian pelicans enjoys their winter apartments," the zoo says.
