A few metres away from St Michael's Castle, close to Pervaya Inzhenerny (First Engineer) Bridge, is St Petersburg's smallest monument.  It is just 11 centimetres high and stands on a tiny plinth on the  embankment of the Fontanka, just a few centimetres above the waterline.  It depicts the bird Chizhik-Pyzhik from a Russian nursery rhyme, who is said to have had one too many vodkas on the Fontanka.  The bronze statue has been stolen several times since it was first unveiled in 2003.   There is a belief that if you manage to throw a coin so that it lands and stays on the monument's pedestal, your wish will be granted.
