The video shows dozens of pigeons lined up on the furniture as if they own the place, with the floor completely covered in droppings and feathers. According to the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, the man left Vorkuta three years ago to work in Siberia but forgot to close one of the apartment windows. The video of the ruined apartment spread like wildfire on Russian social media, causing a wave of funny comments, but its owner does not seem ready to laugh. A middle-aged man from the Russian mining town of Vorkuta recently posted a video of his apartment, which quickly went viral. This was all that was needed for the local pigeons to settle in, turning the man's home into a pigeon loft. Experts estimate the cost of renovating the apartment and replacing all furniture to be between 1.5 and 2 million rubles (between $18,000 and $25,000), which is almost equal to its current market value. Unfortunately, even if the man decides that the renovation is worthwhile, he must consider the cost of making it habitable in a safe manner. The pigeons look at me as if I am a tenant who is late with the rent. What happened during that time? «Nests, feathers, a huge amount of droppings enough to pour a new floor. According to experts, pigeons are susceptible to various diseases, including avian influenza and psittacosis, so the floors and walls must be treated with special chemicals to ensure they are free of any pollutants. I am not the owner of the property, I am a pigeon state occupier». The man is heard on the video saying: «I left Vorkuta three years ago».
