Mutant birds spotted in St. Petersburg
A white sparrow was seen in the Leningrad region; biologists stated that it was not an albino, since the bird had dark eyes, and its whiteness was caused by a genetic mutation.
In a flock, the sparrow feels confident, but stands out and can attract predators, including domestic cats.
Also in St. Petersburg, near the Akademicheskaya metro station, a white jackdaw with blue eyes was spotted.
