    At first glance, ridiculous situation that has developed in the Sevastopol supermarket can end for its customers sad. And the thing feathered thief, who had settled in the sales area store outside Semipalatinsk.
    Flocks of sparrows feel at home here. Not being afraid of people, agile birds simply sit on the open food. After eating, sparrows fly under the roof of the store, so after some time to make a "raid" on the goods. And the audacity of birds there is no limit, they are no longer interested in food available in the course are packed goods.

    Proof of this is the video taken by the supermarket, which appeared on the Internet. It clearly shows how a few sparrows ate pancakes, and just five minutes later, the same pancakes pours his bag shopper.


    After naedyatsya sparrows on the shelves, they fly to the ceiling. Screen shot from video.
    However, in the Market winged thieves either did not notice or simply do not pay attention to them.

    - We are not aware of a flock of sparrows. No complaints from the customers we have not received - told "Komsomolskaya Pravda-Ukraine" in the supermarket on the street Semipalatinsk.

    By the way, birds not only infringe on the food, but crap. Where it is not hard to guess.

    - As with all wild birds, sparrows are carriers of disease - told "Komsomolskaya Pravda-Ukraina" ornithologist, an expert on Biodiversity Conservation Society birds Oleksandr Grinchenko. - They get tabs for food, which then uses people. In this case there is the risk of contracting influenza viruses, including avian.

    According to him, the situation should not be allowed to drift. Birds need to catch and release into the wild.
