| National bird – stork |
|
We could call Lithuania a land of storks. Every year there are around 15,000 pairs of white storks raising their young, in an area of 65,000 square kilometers. If we were to count all of them, the number would come to about 50,000. Since the country’s human population is three and a half million, encounters with storks are common. Lithuanians have also kept up the quaint tradition of saying that storks bring babies. It is a long-forgotten myth in many European countries, but Lithuanians are not surprised if a child claims that his brother or sister was brought by a stork |
