Olena from the village of Morozivka in the Zhytomyr region remembers well the first days of the full-scale invasion. Her native village found itself on the path of rescue — she calls it the “road of life.” People who were fleeing from the Kyiv, Zhytomyr, and Chernihiv regions — from places where explosions constantly rang out, where houses were burning, where everything was being lost — were passing through Morozivka.

Olena and her husband rescue the quiet victims of war — wild birds. When they are found wounded, exhausted, or maimed — they are brought to Olena. The couple carefully takes care of the birds: they treat them, feed them, help them recover. And when the moment comes, they release them into the wild.
