I welcome you, dear readers, and propose to continue our journey through the Sochi Arboretum.

This time we will turn from the Central alley to the left and go to get acquainted with the exotic inhabitants of this Park - ostriches, enjoying the view of the wonderful flora collected from all parts of the world. By the way, almost next to each of them is a sign with the name of the plant and the place where it was imported.

It is a pity that she avoids people, does not come close to them.

But this handsome peacock is proud and happy to show tourists its magnificent plumage, but, God, what a nasty voice he gives with the first rays of the sun. Waking up to the sound of his" singing " is a nightmare.

Soon we come to the ostrich "farm" - aviary, which contains these exotic for our country creation.

They quite feel at ease in the local climate, familiar to people, happy to take treats out of your hand.

Next, our way is to the pond, which can be accessed through a small underground passage lined with stone. Next to it flows a stream.

In summer, the pond swims a lot of birds, but in the spring you can see only a couple of ducks in the water,

Next, we will be able to stroll through a palm, the so-called "walk of the mayors", planted by the mayors of other cities in 1973 - 1992 years. It looks pretty beautiful and majestic.
