Bird Island is a small nature reserve located in the heart of Minsk, which becomes home to over thirty species of rare birds during the summer, some of which are protected and listed in the Red Book. The island is connected to the city by a bridge, which is illuminated at night.

To maintain ecological balance and create comfortable conditions for its avian inhabitants, elevated walkways have been installed on the island. These pathways, seemingly floating in the air, minimize impact on the natural environment. They encircle the entire island, and among the tree branches, one can spot numerous birdhouses of various sizes. Some of these are designed not only for birds but also for bats and squirrels.

Benches and trash bins are placed in the shade of the trees, and at the far end of the island, there is a wooden observation deck that provides a good vantage point for bird watching.

On weekends, Bird Island attracts many visitors, and the benches are often occupied by couples. However, at night, it becomes quiet and deserted, with only the lanterns at the pier illuminating the area.

Bird Island is an ideal place for solitude and relaxation, where every step fills the soul with harmony and tranquility.

鸟岛 是一个位于明斯克市中心的小型自然保护区，夏季成为三十多种稀有鸟类的栖息地，其中一些受到保护并被列入红色名录。岛屿通过一座桥与城市相连，夜晚时这座桥会被灯光照亮。

为了保持生态平衡并为鸟类居民创造舒适的环境，岛上设有高架步道。这些步道仿佛漂浮在空中，最大限度地减少了对自然环境的影响。步道环绕整个岛屿，树枝间可以看到许多不同尺寸的鸟巢。其中一些鸟巢不仅供鸟类使用，还为蝙蝠和松鼠提供栖息地。

在树荫下设有长椅和垃圾桶，岛屿远端有一个木质观景台，非常适合观察鸟类。

在周末，鸟岛吸引了大量游客，长椅上常常坐满了情侣。但夜晚，这里变得安静而冷清，只有码头上的灯光照亮了周围。

鸟岛 是一个理想的隐逸和放松的场所，每一步都让心灵充满和谐与宁静。
