The Pelicans fountain appeared in the city of Šiauliai in 1978, the author of the work is the sculptor B. Kasperavičienė. According to legend, a flock of storks flew south, but two of them fell behind and lost their course. Flying over the city of Siauliai, they were fascinated by its beauty and decided to take some rest. Having landed on Vilniaus Street, they began to quench their thirst and drink from a puddle. At this time, an evil sorceress passed by them and decided to leave such beautiful birds in her northern city, turning them into stone. Since then, a couple of storks in love have been standing on Vilnius Street, and to this day no one has been able to disenchant them. In 2003 the fountain was successfully restored.
