Chizhik-Pizhik (Saint Petersburg)

Russia / Sankt Petersburg / Saint Petersburg
 statue, interesting place
The smallest sculpture in St.Petersburg - a monument to the Chizik Pizik ! Apperently the first post-soviet statue, this tiny bronze bird is refered to in the folk song. Situated below a bridge near the Engineer's Castle, on the Fontanka, it is good luck if you drop a coin and it lands on the small ledge. It is also very difficult, unless the ledge is covered by snow.
