In Ternopil, among the ruins of a nine-storey building that was damaged by a missile strike from Russia, rescuers discovered a parrot. The bright bird was found among the debris of the building, becoming a symbol that life goes on even in the toughest of times.
Someone cared for this parrot, looked after it, perhaps fed it and spoke to it until the war destroyed everything around. This scene reminds us of the fragility of life and the cruelty of war, but also of the importance of empathy and finding a ray of light in the darkest times.
The parrot found among the ruins of the destroyed building has become a symbol of faith in hope and the power of life in wartime conditions.
